The document discusses how the media product, a film, uses and develops conventions of real films. It begins with a chase scene to grab attention, similar to Casino Royale and Scream. While it has a basic chase scene like these films, it aims for more realistic stunts compared to Casino Royale. The victim in the chase is less desperate than in Scream since the chaser hasn't shown murderous intent yet. The film sticks to some conventions, like having a female victim and male kidnapper, and using a chase scene to create tension, while also maintaining some mystery in the shots for future plot details.

1. In what ways does your
media product use,
develop or challenge
forms and conventions of
real media products?

2. Our film is similar to other
films:
• Our film starts off with an chase scene which is a
common way of grabbing the audience’s interest
early on.
• Such as in ‘Casino Royale’, the chase scene is
almost straight away. It’s similar as the chase is
happening outside.
• It is also similar to the movie ‘Scream’ as it has a
chase scene in it and is about people feeling
hunted down which is the theme of our film.

3. Our film is different to other
films:
• In ‘Casino Royale’ there is a lot more focus on
action and stunts, whereas in our film it’s very
simple in the chase scene to be more realistic.
• In ‘Scream’ the person being chased is almost
hysteric as the person chasing them has intent
to kill them. In our film there is less of a
desperation as our chaser hasn’t shown any
murderous intent until later on.

4. Kept to conventions:
• We have kept to conventions as our victim is female
and the kidnapper is male. This is a stereotyped view
that women are weaker and will be captured more so it
sticks to typical conventions.
• Including a chase scene is sticking to conventions as
they are very popular in thriller films as they create
tension and excitement.
• Our film also sticks to conventions in the way that our
shots provide a good sense of what is going on in the
plot, while still allowing enough mystery to be
elaborated on later in the film.
