The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real horror films. It incorporates the fear of being alone during a disaster, using long shots to show isolation as in "I Am Legend." It also draws on the fear and distrust of others in "The Road." Survival relies on using all available resources, building suspense. Close-ups are used to show power dynamics during fights. While a thriller/horror, it has elements of action and adventure genres through fighting and chase sequences shot dynamically.

2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
• My film incorporates certain conventions of the horror genre as the fear in my film is based on the thought of being alone and how to
survive. The thought that you have to be alone during a terrific disaster is the fear that I tried to play on.
I have tried to use the Idea of being
alone in a similar way to the way that
Francis Lawrence I am legend does.
Because this is the type of fear I was
using to give the right effect. The long
shot shows how big the world is and
how small it makes the main character.
In the road there is the fear other
people and that you can’t trust
anybody this is one of the main
aspects of the story. The fact that
there is few people in the cast has
this effect that there is less people
about and that you are alone. Yet
again there are long shots to give the
feeling of insignificance

3. • There are Points in movies that means survival has to make use of everything you have, this makes the suspense build up to the way
they survive or die. The characters in the crazies start off as being just normal people turned ‘crazy’ this made the idea that you can’t
tell from just looking at the infected that they are crazy. Most horror movies play on the fear of the unknown which is what I wanted to
do for my movie.
The close up of the two characters is to show both sides As you can see here both characters have opposing sides.
of the characters. The Character that takes up most of The fight is decided by the character invading the others
the screen during the fight is normally the one with space. This technique is used in many action scenes
more power. because of the effect it has without people noticing.

4. • This film is meant to be a thriller/horror but there are sub-genres to it as well, these are action and adventure elements such as the
fighting and chase sequences.
The camera angle here
has both the survivor and
monster is in the
shot, which yet again
shows the action between
them. The fight sequences
are the main thing that
shows the sub-genre of
action. The fact that the
scenes are very dynamic
to the sudden calmness
after one of the characters
wins.
