The document analyzes how the media producer's film uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real films through examples. It provides screenshots from films like The Hunger Games, Black Hawk Down, Apocalypse, James Bond: Die Another Day, and Green Zone that have similar shots and conventions to scenes in the producer's thriller. While some shots conform to traditional techniques, one underwater shot from James Bond challenges conventions. Overall, the thriller aims to feel realistic and immerse viewers like real films through conventional cinematography, sets, titles, and atmospheric effects.

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

2. HUNGER GAMES
This is the opening shot to our
thriller, it is meant to look like a
cave has been recreated in the
shot.
I feel that it was very well done
and looks like a professional job
despite being put up in a few
hours. This shows that our thriller
uses traditional sets like other
films.
If we look at another production
such as the 2012 Film: The Hunger
Games. Here is a screengrab from
the trailer and it looks very
similar to our thriller when
recreating a shot looking out of a
cave.

3. BLACK HAWK DOWN
Here is a shot from the
popular war film ‘Black
Hawk Down’ of a wounded
soldier with blood on the
floors around him whilst he
is laying down on some type
of stretcher or table.
Our thriller has a similar
shot with the hostage being
woken up at the start of the
scene before being
interrogated and tortured by
the militant.

4. ELIZABETH
This shot is a conventional
one which shows the
protagonist interrogating the
victim in an aggressive and
violent manner. It is scary
and adds tension to the
scene.
Our thriller uses shots that
are similar to real media
products and so conforms to
traditional techniques used
in films making it more
realistic as a normal
product.

5. APOCALYPISIS
This is a waterboarding sequence
taken from the film ‘Apocalypsis’.
Despite having their hostage being
in a different position, it has a
similar appearance to our piece.

6. JAMES BOND:
‘DIE ANOTHER DAY’
This shot is different to those I have
seen in thriller’s in the past, I
couldn’t find a similar shot so
instead I used this underwater shot
from James Bond’s Die Another Day
in the opening titles.
Our shot is wide angle where the
water hits the camera instead. I think
this challenges conventional shots
that are in films and is a new and
original idea.

7. GREEN ZONE
This gun fight scene from the film
‘Green Zone’ has a very similar
colour and feel to our thriller. Both
the soldiers have military clothing
on and are shooting at something.
The atmosphere created during
the action scene is very
professional looking in our
sequence and the effect makes for
an immersive viewing experience
for the audience.

8. The titles I used for the thriller are
similar to those used in many war
films as well as popular video game
titles such as Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 2. It is a standard digital text
font that has a military intelligence
feel, it was chosen on purpose to link
the thriller to others in the same
genre.
