Evaluation Questions In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Our media product uses develop and challenging forms of convention by using different varieties of camera shots, Mise-en scene and editing to show the audience what the meaning is to the two minutes opening film. I also challenged the forms of convention by researching six different opening films to get an idea how our opening scene will look like for e.g. titling image or titling background. Overall in my media project I used convention method to get an idea on how psychological thrillers begin and if they use diegetic or non-diegetic sounds. We decided to have a titling image in our opening film this is because if we had a background it will waste time. The idea we’ve used in our research was from Misery. Misery also had titling image in the opening scene we decided to use the titling image rather than use a background this is because its more effective and signifies that most psychological thrillers have a titling image.

Evaluation QuestionsIn what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and
conventions of real media products?Our media product uses develop and challenging forms of convention by using different
varieties of camera shots, Mise-en scene and editing to show the audience what the meaning is to the two minutes opening film. I also challenged the forms of convention by researching six
different opening films to get an idea how our opening scene will look like for e.g. titling image or titling background. Overall in my media project I used convention method to get an idea on
how psychological thrillers begin and if they use diegetic or non-diegetic sounds. We decided to have a titling image in our opening film this is because if we had a background it will waste
time. The idea we’ve used in our research was from Misery. Misery also had titling image in the opening scene we decided to use the titling image rather than use a background this is because
its more effective and signifies that most psychological thrillers have a titling image.
Mise-en-scene Conventions• The use of costume the characters were wearing in our film suggests their particular
background and social group. The main character the client (Zara) in this film is represented as young insecure and vulnerable this is because she had visions and flash forwards. The use of costume also tells the audience that she's young this is because she’s wearing a hood and jeans which signifies that she’s a teenager. In our conventions we decided to have a younger female character rather then a male this is because in psychological thrillers young female characters are often the seen as victims and vulnerable. For e.g. The ring had two teenage girls who were seen as victims because they were terrified about the video tape. It also signifies to the audience that she’s a teenager this I because their both living in a urban environment. The lighting used in our film and the media product uses low key lighting which suggest powerless and insecurity. Low key lightings are often used when the character feels scared and shocked.
Camera-shots conventions• The use of camera angles in our film signifies to the audience how the characters feel. Over
the shoulder shot (OVS) was often used in our film when the two characters were communicating. This signifies that this shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view. This mainly happens when one character feels down whereas the other character tries to comfort the character. According to this we’ve juxtaposed our film’s OVS shot to The Ring. Our film symbolizes that the camera is focusing on the vulnerable character and that the other character is in high position of power trying to comfort her whereas the ring the position of the character feels horrified by the other character telling her tragic stories.
