1. Evaluation Task One – In what ways does your media product use,
develop, or challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
Here are the nine images that I think put together, I think that they explain my
opening sequence in these nine images.

2. Simple use of costume allows us to, take advantage of the established conventions of
what hospital member of staff generally looks like on film and television. This
automatically gives the audience setting. However the corridors are not
representative of a normal hospital so therefore it natural for the audience to assume
that it is some kind of institution. The use of a white sheet to covering a person
immediately tells the audience that they are dead. However, within a thriller contexts
the audience is likely to question quite quickly whether the character is really dead or
playing dead as they may have seen before in many other films.

3. The camera then tilts down, and the audience is able to see the shape of a face.
They know there is a body as they previously saw the feet. Throughout the
sequence, the camera focuses on the trolley and the body that it is carrying.
This can make the audience suspicious and make them think twice whether the
the victim is dead. Otherwise why would the camera be focusing on it
throughout the sequence. The audience is used to the normal ways in which a
thriller works, there are certain rules, by the camera focusing on the trolley they
know that something is not right and something will happen.

4. Here you get a front and back view of the corridor. Again focusing on the
trolley and where it is going, as it is leaving the corridor the audience will
expect something to happen. Because the camera has been following the
trolley from the start of the sequence. The audience will want to know
where it is going and expect something to happen, as the tension has
been built up. You again get to see that the worker is wearing full hospital
uniform, which reassures the audience that its in a hospital rather than
anywhere else.

5. You then get a shot of the van doors closing, which makes the audience think of a
mortuary van taking the body somewhere safe. However, because the camera
was focusing on the trolley so much in the first half of the sequence. The audience
are already thinking twice whether the body is actually dead.
The expectations of the audience for something to happen are higher because
they have noticed this detail in the first half. Once there is bang in the van, this is
telling the audience that something is going to happen, because people would say
it is typical in a thriller movie. The driver gets out the van to check the back, and
the audience are just waiting for someone to get hurt, or runaway.

6. As soon as the driver opens the back doors to the van, automatically the
audience know that someone is going to jump out. So as soon as the driver
opens the door, the arms of the supposedly dead body rise up with a gun in his
hand. As soon as the audience see a gun being pointed they wait for a bang as
they assume that he is going to be shot. The camera then turns around and sees
the driver being shot and flying out of the shot. Again the audience presume
that the killer will either run for it, or get in the car and drive away. But both
situations leaving the body. Because that is what they are used to in every other
thriller.
