Evaluation question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
The typical conventions of a thriller are for it to have areas of pure suspense making the viewer/audience feel intriqued to watch on. I feel that our Thriller meets that particular convention. The victim is told to meet at the park and the non-copyright music (blackroom) we found for our opening caused suspense as it was a strong peace that would make any viewer worry about whats happening next. Another main convention for a Thriller is using a range of different shot types, close-ups, point of views, jump cuts etc. Our Thriller uses point of views, jump cuts and long shots of the victim during the sequence this shows a variety of perspectives and used together give the sequence a distinct feel.
This shot from the thriller Fargo shows how our Thriller can be seen to have met the criteria of the particular thriller conventions as it has the same weather used. Filming in the snow gives the Thriller that worrying feeling as its a cold atmosphere etc.

evaluation question 6
what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
the technologies we have used are blogger, final cut express, youtube, camera, Moby gratis etc.
we used these technologies for various reasons. youtube was used to upload our films to the internet to give the wider audience a chance to watch our piece also allowing us to easily upload to our blogs. using our mobile phones were also helpful during the filming process, as it allowed to quickly take photos of locations or events to our blog where ever we were.google allowed us to find a number of resources and information that helped and inspired us when it came to thinking of ideas for our thriller. also more social forms of technology were used like Facebook along with survey monkey. this allowed us to make a survey and spread it to gain audience research. From these technologies we have learned that they are a very important factor to filming and making a film. we have learned how to use cameras properly and have learned to use websites such as blogger and survey monkey with confidence.
