Eavaluation question 1
Our media product challenges some conventions while developing and following others. We did not use the common convention of white text on a black background for the opening titles due to time restrictions. Instead, we used titles over gameplay, similar to the film The Drive. We followed conventions for camerawork, including establishing shots, point-of-view shots, and high and low angles to set tone and power dynamics. We also developed settings and costuming to give the film a modern thriller feel while hiding details about a character to intrigue audiences, following conventions of mystery.

Evaluation question 3: How does your media product represent particular socia...charlottefensomchenderit
The document discusses how the media product Tracks of Damnation represents social groups through its use of character stereotypes and archetypes. The antagonist is portrayed as wearing all black clothing and wielding an axe, supporting villain stereotypes. The secondary character Ton wears typical teenage clothing like a hoodie and baseball cap. Locations like the garage and woodland area are used because they fit horror film conventions. Props like fake blood are included to make the axe killing seem realistic without being too graphic. The film aims to incorporate archetypes but also subvert some expectations to intrigue audiences.Evaluation Activity 1 Part 1
1) The document discusses the film production of a short action thriller film created for a class assignment. It was 4-5 minutes and included a poster and film review.
2) The film's plot involved a man named Jay finding drugs in his bag after it was switched at the park. He then had to deal with the police coming to his door.
3) The document discusses the codes, conventions, locations, costumes, editing, characters, titles, music, and conclusion of the film production. It analyzes how they used typical conventions of the action thriller genre and filmmaking generally.
Evaluation question one
Our film 'RED' uses conventions of the thriller genre such as low-key lighting to build suspense and highlight the protagonist's emotional conflict after she murders her husband for infidelity. Costume is also used unconventionally with the protagonist wearing a red dress to convey danger, anger and passion. Editing pace increases over time to engage the audience as the narrative unravels. Camera shots closely follow thriller conventions with frequent close-ups on emotions and clues. While our film's opening follows Todorov's theory of narrative structure, it challenges conventions by leaving the audience on a cliffhanger without resolution.
Evaluation Question One
1) The document discusses how the opening sequence of the film "Feedback" challenges conventions of horror films through the use of handheld camera shots, close-ups, lighting, sound, and narrative structure.
2) Specifically, it uses handheld camera shots throughout for realism, close-ups to exaggerate emotion, low lighting for fear, diegetic sounds only for suspense, and begins in a state of disequilibrium like Memento to engage the audience.
3) Many of these techniques are becoming more popular in modern horror films that aim to feel like true documentations, like Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch Project, and Cloverfield that also influence the film.
Q1) IN WHAT WAY DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP AND CHALLENGE FORMS AND ...
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of the thriller genre through various film techniques. It analyzes the opening sequence created for a class task in terms of cinematography choices like angles, shots, and camera movements. It also discusses use of sound, editing, mise-en-scene elements like costumes, and character representations in terms of gender, age, and more. Examples are provided from films like Seven and The Silence of the Lambs to illustrate how conventions are used, developed, or challenged.
'Incognito' Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product Incognito challenges conventions of real media products. It uses techniques like POV handheld camera footage inspired by The Blair Witch Project to make viewers feel involved. It also does not reveal the antagonist's face at first, building suspense like the movie Se7en. Representation of social groups focuses on the protagonist, based on characters like John Luther, being a male detective obsessed with catching the mysterious killer antagonist portrayed in a supernatural, animalistic way. Distribution could be by institutions open to blurred genre works like Netflix or streaming services rather than documentary or educational channels.
Analysis of our 3 chosen trailers;
The document provides an analysis of the trailers for the films Shutter Island, Paranormal Activity, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. It summarizes the key elements of each trailer, including style, editing techniques, representation of social groups, and target audiences. It then discusses how the analysis of these trailers will influence the creation of the trailer for their own film, which involves a demonic possession in a mental asylum.
Analyse of our three chosen trailers;
The trailer for The Exorcism of Emily Rose summarizes the plot of a young woman, Emily Rose, who is possessed by the devil. Her family and a priest perform an exorcism to try and heal her, but they are taken to court and accused of performing an illegal procedure. The trailer uses dialogue from the film and disturbing shots of Emily's possessed behavior to portray the narrative and conflict between those who believe she is possessed versus those in the court who question the exorcism. It aims to leave the audience wondering what is real.
Analysis of our three
The document provides an analysis of the trailers for three films: Shutter Island, Paranormal Activity, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
For each trailer, the document examines elements like characters, plot, style/editing, music/sound effects, mise-en-scene, target audience, and social representation. Similarities and differences between the trailers are discussed.
The document also explains how insights from analyzing these trailers will influence the design of the trailer being created by the author, such as using a young female protagonist and doctor characters to create conflict, incorporating found footage, and leaving some aspects ambiguous to generate suspense.
Evaluation Question 1
This document analyzes how the media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of typical thriller films. It examines conventions like titling, camera movement, framing shots, camera angles, mise-en-scene, editing, and sound. For each convention, it provides examples from the media product and compares it to existing thriller films like Drive and Taken. Overall, it finds that the media product both follows thriller conventions like using music to build tension, as well as challenges conventions such as using daytime scenes for the main action instead of just nighttime scenes.
Evaluative commentary1
The document discusses the creative decisions made in designing a title sequence for a spy/action film project. It aimed to follow conventions of the genre identified through research, such as using green digital font for titles, introducing cast and crew during action, and having the main character complete a mission successfully in the opening. Specific elements like a fight scene, props, fast-paced music, lighting, and having the main character work alone at night were incorporated to engage the audience and establish the "typical hero" of this genre. The goal was to set the scene for the film and build a relationship with the audience through adhering to researched conventions.
question 1
The document discusses how the film "RED" uses and develops conventions of the thriller genre. Some key points:
1) Low-key lighting was used to build suspense, especially in revealing a husband's infidelity, developing on its common use in thrillers.
2) Costume choices like the protagonist's red dress challenged conventions to convey her internal conflict and the crime of passion.
3) Editing pace increased over time to engage the audience and build suspense, developing a convention of consistent pacing.
4) Shots like close-ups of emotions followed thriller conventions to clearly show the protagonist's internal state.
Media evaluation question 1
This document analyzes how the author's horror film trailer uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real horror film trailers. It discusses elements of mise-en-scene, music and sound, characters, camera and editing, titles, and themes. For most elements, the author's trailer follows genre conventions but also challenges them in some ways. For example, costumes adhere to conventions but have unique styles, and settings are mysterious but not completely dark.
Evaluation task 1
This document discusses how a media product uses and develops conventions from real media. It describes mimicking shots from the TV show "Make it or Break it" using a black background to emphasize gymnastic elements. It also discusses using a bird's eye view shot, slow motion scenes, and an opening title with black background and fading white letters similar to the film "Black Swan" to build tension and introduce the thriller in an eerie way. The product draws from conventions in other gymnastics films and TV shows while adapting them to fit the theme of its own character-driven thriller.

Evaluation of our production in media
- 1. Conventions incorporated to my production from existing media products.
- 2. The Dark Knight. Male interrogator. Low angle over the shoulder shot giving a feeling of vulnerability Interrogator is stood above the accused to show dominant role in scene.
- 3. Suspicion. (My production) Dominant stooping stance often used by interrogator to show his power in scene. Low angle over the shoulder shot to show vulnerability of accused as if often seen in crime films
- 4. Suspicion. (My production) A suit shows power which solidifies his authority. The interrogator is often a male role as male are traditionally more dominant than females so we decided to follow this convention.
- 5. Suspicion. (My production) Suspense is often built up through the lighting used so we opted for a nocturnal scene to improve the suspense. Women are often traditionally portrayed as the victims and weak and so we decided to carry this convention over to the production.
- 6. Se7en. In this existing media product the opening scene features the names of the leading actors in a stand alone black screen.
- 7. Suspicion. (My production) Taking the idea from the film Se7en a black screen with names of the main actors featured in it were placed in. This helps the viewer understand what the film will be like by bringing over knowledge of the actors previous films.
