The document discusses three scenes from a film and how they utilize conventions from real media products. The first scene uses a low-angle shot of the main character looking down at something important, drawing from techniques used in past action movies. The second scene shows an over-the-shoulder shot of the main character looking at his friend holding pills, similar to a scene in the film Taken. Both scenes aim to make the film more realistic and tense. The third scene introduces the villain in the dark with his face hidden, a convention used to indicate an evil character, helping the film properly appeal to its target audience.
