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.
