In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
During
the production of my thriller I tried to replicate the themes and conventions
used in the opening scenes I watched for research, I tried to make it obvious
from the start that my film was a thriller by opening with a high intensity
scene with one of the characters being shot, this straight away tells the
viewer what the nature of the film is going to be like and also raises many
questions such as; who were they? Why was he shot? What did he do? These are
the sorts of questions that the viewers will be thinking while watching my
thriller and this will make them want to continue watching to find out the
answers. A few of the conventions of thrillers I found difficult to include or
was unable to use this is due many reasons for example I was unable to use plot
twist as I was only making a opening scene not an entire movie and you would
rarely ever see a plot twist within the opening scene of a film, other
conventions I was challenged by was sound, sound is a key part in creating and
building tension in a thriller and if done properly can be very effective, this
was difficult as all music and sound had to be non-copyrighted and free so I
had to search through the vast selection of music and sound to find the ones
that matched the thriller genre and was of high quality.
