In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
We conducts various amounts off primary and secondary research to get a much better understanding on the genre Thriller. By conducting these forms of research we identified they key identifying traits and conventions which make up a successful Thriller film. This research turned out to be extremely effective as we was able to compare and contrast these traits and conventions that we explored, which then enabled us to have a clear vision of what we needed to include into our film. We could now pick out the specific forms of conventions that we wanted to use then we could cooperate them into the initial planning stage. This was soon evident that these traits / convention would create strong foundations and would provide us with sturdy core to create our film around.
Some of the most popular key conventions that we came across was the use of sound and how it is stereo typically linked to a certain genre. Through the primary research we discovered that the target audience music plays a significant role on how a Thriller film is presented. It also helps the target audience to be able to identify what genre the film is through the use of music. For a thriller this music is typically rather tense and uptight. By the knowledge we gained from this we made it imperative that we included some tense, uptight music throughout our film which has gave our film a real cutting edge, improving our film massively.
Another key convention is the use of changes in camera shots. We cooperated this into our film and used various shots such as Extreme close up shots, Establishing wide shots, Medium/Mid shots, Long shots and close ups. By mixing up the range of shots it helped to add the dramatic tension and keeps the audience interested as do not know what is going to happen at any given moment. The use of each of these shots helps to explore the environment and the locations in which we decided to film.
A key convention that we also identified through secondary research but also released when filming was by having the film in black and white colour scheme. The black and white effect helps impact the film and the way that we wanted it to really clearly be deemed as a thriller.
A good example of where I have went into detailed and analysed the conventions of a key thriller film was on a previous blog post I did on Inception. This was a very critical analysis and it was apparent to what conventions really show a Thriller.
