Evaluation (Part 1)

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

Thriller conventions:

In my thriller film I have included:

'A crime at the core of the narrative'

The crime in my thriller being murder.

'Themes of voyeurism'

As the murderer before hand follows Billy and Shelby, and also spies on them.

'Titles often reflect an aspect of the protagonist/antagonist's psychological state'

The titles are very jolty, and reflect the unstable state of the murderer, as often, people who murder have been hurt or are insane, and this is reflected in the titles

We decided it would be best not to include too many of the conventions, as it is only a film opening, and so if many more were included it may of become confusing to the audience as there is too much happening at once.
