The media product challenges horror movie conventions by killing a male character in the opening sequence rather than a female. It also does not reveal the killer's identity to the audience. Additionally, the opening sequence is filmed with lights on rather than in dark lighting with shadows to provide a clearer view. The victim in this opening does not have an opportunity to escape and is killed after exchanging texts, challenging the convention of attempted escape.

2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products.
 My opening sequence develops horror movie up to an
expend. This is because the majority of scary movies
presents a female actor that will die at one point. We have
challenged this idea and in our opening sequence we
decided that a male should be killed instead.
 In Scream and other well know horror movies the viewer is
presented to the murder; even though they might not see
their face (a mask always cavers the killers face); the viewer
can still engage with the killer as they are able to see them in
action. We decided to challenge this point by not revealing
the killer to the audience so individual can use their own
imagination to create a character for the murder. In addition
to that we decided that it will be more interesting because
the viewers will want to watch the rest to discover how the
killer might be.

3.  Also, some horror opening sequences tend to have dark
lightening and shadowing. We decided to film with the lights
on because we get a better view of the scenes. In order to
find this out we filmed a couple of scenes with very little
lighting but soon after we decided to stick to our initial idea of
having the lights on though out the opening sequence.
 As presented in Scream the female actor that was getting
killed attempted to escape from the killer. We decided that
we’ll have our character in the living room long enough for
the audience to understand that they didn’t have the
opportunity to run anywhere.
 However, our opening sequence involved convection as well.
This was presented through the sound that was used and
the fact that the actor was not killed straight away and it was
leading to the kill through the conversation and texts that
Lucy received.
