1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Narrative
In our thriller opening we used many conventions. This image shows Death which is common in most thrillers we showed this image to then create questions about what was happening? who was this person? why is she dead? We also created a problem for the audience to identify. These are all conventions off a thriller to entice and interest our audience.

Character
The opening to our thriller shows an insight into the thoughts and feelings of Emily as we have included an emotional voice over and images off her looking vulnerable. We portray Emily as a flawed hero as we show that she is suicidal. We chose to use this convention in our opening to show that there is a problem and she feels she has no other way out and she is using an extreme way off dealing with a situation, this then portrays the situation be very serious.

Fonts and Titles.
We used unconventional fonts and titles in our thriller opening but the reason we used this was linked to the handwriting off our letter. Normally thrillers use dark, sharp and ridged fonts which we didn't think would link in to our opening.

Location
Our opening develops the conventions off a thriller in the following ways, we chose to not go down the route off a traditional off a showing a murdered in a dark house for example. Our location is still conventional in the way off it being scary and in desolated forest. The unconventional parts off our opening are the bathroom scenes off showing domestic and a clean tidy bathroom.
Techniques used
In our opening we developed our piece by using different techniques to emphasize and make the opening more effective. Effects we used were black and white and a very high contrast to make the flashback scenes stand out in our piece and we found it looked spookier.
