Evaluation question 1&2

In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge the conventions of real media conventions?

Within the thriller genre there are many different conventions that are involved.These are as follows :

- Creating suspense within the film

I think that our film has followed these conventions very well as we have included them within our film. We have created suspense where the girl is kidnapped from her house at the end of the introductory to the film. The girl is taken out of her home and we have a backing track to go with this that builds towards this moment. As you can see from here we have shot this from the side of the girl, this is too hide the villains face because this also follows other conventions such as mystery. As well as this all you can see is the build of the villain who is bigger than the girl which represents power in the villain leading to the girl not having a chance of fighting back.

- The thriller genre includes an enigma or some sort of problem

Like before the problem being in our film is hat the girl is taken from her home however there is also the 'hero' who will be the problem solver within the film, this also follows he conventions of the genre because thrillers also have a hero within the films who is usually distant or very self centered until the problem is escalated.

- Thrillers involve violence as this is the main problem that it is revolved around

Within the opening of our film we can see different forms of violence in two different places, this is from the text that is sent fro the male to the females phone where he says that he doesn't want her to speak to him again, this can be seen as verbal violence as it can be taken quite offensively however the physical violence where the girl is taken is the key factor in the opening of our film.

-A male who is the hero and only he can solve the problem

This is shown in our film where we have used a male character who has been in a relationship with the girl who has been taken and he is he one who is destined to save the girl from what has happened, he is the one who is going to solve the problem. 

How did we revise or alter the productions throughout the process ?

We chopped and changed some of our productions, this involved the format in which the order we decided to film the production. We decided that we would take all of the production from the start to the end but we stopped at some of the points so that we could take another shot from possibly a different angle or a complete new shot, by doing this it allowed us to put all the shots together and edit them into one another.
We would go through the shots to make sure that they were useful enough to go into the production however if we found that they weren't then we wouldn't use them and delete them once we put them on the computer. This is because if we deleted them whilst on the camera even though they didn't look good on the camera by themselves when edited with some other shots they might come in handy to us and become useful.
