1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?
Three incorporates the generic conventions that are included in every successful
horror film. This is the opening scene and is what the audience will first see.
Because our sequence is
based on an old myth of
the slender man we
thought it would be
clearer to understand.
This is a convention you
do not see very often
because all of the
Horror story lines that
are created today are
entirely fictional and
are not based on any
myth or real life story, this is a convention that could make our story line stand
out from the rest.
When looking at
this particular shot
to your right you
would think that
the film you are
about to watch is
not a horror genre.
This shot looks like
it belongs in a film
noir sequence.
This is an example of a typical
horror convention. With the
dark surroundings creating an
uneasy atmosphere and then
the focus being upon the red
numbers, the red numbers
symbolising blood.

2. Here underneath is the character that our Slender Man is most like. Jason the
character from the Horror film “Halloween” wears a mask to hide his identity but
we know that from his hockey stick and hockey mask his revenge is on the
people who had something to do with his hockey career. Our character is an
urban legend, not like Jason who is made up but is meant to be real. The
similarities between the two characters are basically both of their costumes.
