1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

3. The main points I discovered are on my blog and are as follows: -The name of the producers in a text card for example ‘Fox Searchlight’. -Fast shots with little or very little amounts of clarity, this is very effective and leaves the viewer in suspense, leading them to want and watch the film. - Dark lighting is very effective as most people become nervous in the dark. - Pathetic fallacy is often used - The use of rural areas is important, in our trailer especially, because if a very urban location was used the person would not seem alone and isolated. - Text card are often used to tell information - The use of weapons and showing of blood or gore is often popular to horror audiences. - The use of a victim. - The disequilibrium section is very fast and often has very few transitions the use of a final scare.

I feel that this makes each of the products recognisable to the genre of horror and they all complement each other well. I also feel that our trailer does actually challenge some conventions by having a dominant female character for the majority of the trailer. As well as this I feel that the trailer is representative of the genre horror
