1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of
real media products?
Title font and style
Psycho – Opening of the film The Hunt – Opening
In Psycho the film company used is A Paramount Release, the background is displayed in
black and white enhancing the white and bold font. The purpose of having a black and white
theme gives it an antiquated look. Furthermore, In The Hunt we were inspired by the style
and colours of the background, therefore we used the colours to present the company in
black and white because the colours are more affective as it enhance the motions of the
pattern. Also the cloudy appearance in the back of both filmcompany gives it a mystic
semblance.
Camerawork and editing
Psycho – Opening of the film The Hunt – Opening
The camera technique used for Psycho and The hunt are similar as the angle zoom is used in
each shot to focus on the subject or area. This is a steady and stable shot which gives a
sense of voyeurism as it makes the audience feel as if they or someone is spying on the
characters. Also in The Hunt the camera angle causes tension for the audience as it creates a
sense of suspicion in their minds due to focus being on the character.

2. Setting/Location
The Roommate – opening The Hunt -
The setting in the thriller The Roommate is in a college in the US, a college is a location that
gives a sense of joy as there is socialising, work, freedom and independence. Therefore in
our opening of a thriller we preferred using a school as a location, as it explores the
characters personality. Also in a school there are many students which makes it difficult to
know the suspect.
Costumes and Props
The Roommate The Hunt
According to the location of a college it is obvious that the characters have casual clothing,
as it is set as a normal casual day, this indicates that the character isn’t possessive about
their appearance, also the casual dressing is to emphasis on their daily routine. Moreover, in
a school there are libraries which have countless books, study tables and computers.
