How does you product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

3. In many ways our thriller
movie opening challenges
conventional thriller codes
in that it…

4.  -Does no conform to a
typical Hollywood format,
the scenery and
surroundings are typically
New Zealand landscapes
and therefore allows the
audience to see an
environment which
questions what they see
in films on a day to day
basis

5.  Within our film we see a
stereotype established.
The girl within the water
represents the typical
beautiful, young
stereotype of a teenager.
With her white dress
representing purity and
innocence within the
minds of youth.

6.  However, this is challenged
when we the situation she is in.
This opening challenges the
stereotype of young girls whilst
also raising issues around the
safety of young woman, many
woman are targeted due to their
sex, this is not a very talked
about topic within the film
industry due to the fact woman
are very much sexualised within
films as objects of beauty.
Therefore this girl is more than
she seems, we wanted to
challenge how the audience see
her within out film

10. Many people are
not who they seem.
