The document analyzes how the media product "Black Rose" uses and develops conventions of real thriller films through its mise-en-scene, costumes, plot, mystery, pace, color correction, music, and hybrid identity with elements of horror.

Props and Outfits
- 1. Props and Wardrobe By Nuala, Tracy, Rosette and Nicole
- 2. Emily’s outfit Emily who played Lisa wore black leggings with a black and white designed vest top. We thought this would be a good outfit for her to wear as it is casual but the top makes the outfit dressy. As she is at a party we thought this was appropriate as she looked appropriate for the party scene. The codes and conventions of a thriller usually have black and white colours used. These colours show there is a good and bad side to Lisa, which will leave the audience wondering if Lisa is a good or a bad character and will make them think.
- 3. Rick’s outfit Rick who plays Rich the gangster wore a dark navy jacket and black jeans. We decided he should wear dark colours so he looked mysterious. These colours make him a very suspicious character and as his hood is up it hides his identity and makes him look a scary character. The colours navy and black portray a bad image of Rich and black is usually associated with bad people. Also as parties are usually dark it is less obvious for the other people to see him. When you see him in the camera it makes it really tense and leaves the audience on the edge of their seats when he just grabs her and drags her off.
- 4. Tape We used black masking tape to cover Lisa’s mouth with when she is tied up behind the chair. We specifically used black tape as black is a colour used mostly in thrillers as it conveys a dark and suspicious mood. This creates an eerie atmosphere and it makes the audience want to know where Lisa is and what is going to happen to her next.
- 5. Gloves Once again we kept the colours of our equipment's and props very dark to portray a sinister mood. Furthermore, most criminals wear black gloves when committing a crime, so we wanted to meet these realistic expectations. This also hides the identity of the gangster so he remains anonymous and the audience have no idea of who he is.
- 6. Rope The rope is a dark grey colour as we wanted it to be visible when doing the panning shot as Lisa(Emily) is wearing black leggings, so if we were to use black rope it would of blended in so we decided to use dark grey. Also, when people are kidnapped they are typically tied up so we once again wanted to meet this stereotypical scenario. This makes the audience weary for Lisa’s safety as her being tied up shows she is not safe and is in danger.
