MEDIA EVALUATION                                   Honor Cooke
In what ways does your media product use, develop
  or challenge forms and conventions of real media
                                         products?
CONVENTIONS WE USED

 Final girl – we planned for Molly’s character to be the final
  girl and last to become victim to the killer. She tells the story
  at the beginning and is later developed to become the
  protagonist of our story (unseen). The promiscuous girl
  character is the first to be killed, which follows the
  conventions of typical horror films.
CONVENTIONS WE USED

 Isolated location – we filmed in a woods in low light
  conditions to follow the convention of isolated locations. We
  built on this convention by associating a horror story (molly’s
  character says at the beginning) with the location to build
  tension and create an atmosphere around the location
CONVENTIONS WE USED

 Dark colours and symbolism of red within our product – we
  used editing software to make the footage darker than it
  originally was to create an atmosphere and make the location
  seem scarier than it may have done otherwise. We also used
  red in the costume for our promiscuous girl character who is
  the only character to be killed on screen as this connotes both
  blood, and gore, which foreshadows her death, and her
  promiscuous nature, as red is often seen as a colour of love
  and passion.
CONVENTIONS WE DEVELOPED

 We developed the convention of the promiscuous girl
  character being paired with the jock or ‘funny guy’ by initially
  having her stand next to him, almost protectively, and then
  having her move to Jake before the end of the opening, and
  being killed seemingly because of her unfaithfulness to the
  jock character.
CONVENTIONS WE DEVELOPED

 We developed the oft seen convention of teenagers from
  dif ferent social groups working together as each of our
  characters may not be stereotypically seen to hang around
  with each other but work together in this context when one of
  their group goes missing. They are seen to split up but for
  understandable reasons.
