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

2. Orphan (2009)
Our film conforms to
the scary child look, as
we have used a creepy-
looking girl waiting at
the top of a slide.
A park is supposed to
be a fun place, and
children are supposed
to be protected and
innocent, and this flips
it on its side.

3. Orphan (2009)
Both films have used
the main antagonist
putting tension in a
place of happiness and
fun.
This matches our
Thriller opening,
because we have a child
that doesn’t look
sociable or friendly on a
swing.

4. Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
Paranormal Activity 2 is
relevant to our opening
sequence because the plot is
about a ghost who is trying
to possess a little boy.
It is about a happy
family with two
children: a teenage girl
and small boy.

5. The Children (2008)
Our thriller uses the idea of
young venerable children
playing with their family just
as the film ‘The Children’
does.

6. The Children (2008)
The audience can see the
little girl watching the
other people in the scene,
just as the little boy in ‘The
Children’ watches the
people in the scene he is
in.

7. SAW (2004)
Both ‘SAW’ and our film
‘The Playground’ use
video effects that make
the footage seem like it
was shot on little home
cameras.

8. The Last Exorcism Part II (2013)
The titles in both our
film and ‘The Last
Exorcism Part II’
featured fairly basic
fonts.
It may have been nice to
have used a more elegant
font however we believed it
fitted the genre.
