In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge

forms and conventions of real media products?

How my opening incorporates generic conventionsThere are a few generic conventions in my media product, for example my video has all the conventions of a ‘Thriller’ film. I used music for tension and suspense throughout my sequence. Also it has the generic iconography of a thriller, e.g. Shadows, Dark figures, Rooms, Hidden messages (Being the leather gloves in bedroom).

In my film I have used classic quick cuts to create suspense in the characters and make the audience keep watching, I have used a bedroom to show where Lucy should be safest most, but this is her main area where she gets nightmares. I have made the kidnapper wear dark clothing which is a convention of a thriller. Because my thriller has scenes of things happening in my protagonist’s head, it is a psychological thriller, but it also shows danger within the protagonist which indicates it is a crime-thriller too.

9 Key Frames

Frame 1This is the first shot you see, it sums up the whole thriller why Lucy is going outside to the woods. She is going to find her dogs, This shows the class of the girl, she can afford an expensive phone. This is also a extreme close up.

Frame 2This is the first scene is which you can see the girls bedroom, it is a typical girl room with pink walls, huge cuddly bear. I also added the Antagonist into the picture to introduce what his main feature is, the leather gloves, this is also something the audience should see a lot. Especially the shot of the bedroom, when the gloves appear and disappear every so often.

Frame 3This is wear you see the antagonist, the way the antagonist is behind the protagonist indicates that something may happen between the two of them or something has happened. The antagonist is covered up so you don’t see who it is, which gives the audience questions an suspense. The color of the scene is in ‘Memory’ tone, to show the difference between the the ‘Real life action’ and ‘The memory action’

Frame 4This is a shot of the protagonist leaving her house, In this shot you see the full clothing style of Lucy, you see that the clothing she is wearing isn't cheap. Nike and Puma brands. This is a wide shot to show her walking down the street and seeing how she walks very shyly.

Frame 5This is just when the protagonist has just walked round the corner, the antagonist clearly knows where and when she is going to walk, so he has made himself very hidden and away from public, also you see his full outfit, Dark upper clothing and quite bright jeans. Which may catch the audience’s eye, and question who is this character.

Frame 6This scene keeps the audience on edge, it almost shows who the protagonist is, this is an ant view shot. This is also shows that it is in the day time, which usually isn't a thriller convention but its when something is least expected to happen.

Frame 7This is the last time you see the protagonist ‘Safe’ After this she is kidnapped and hears something. This is also shot in a medium angle so you can see Lucy turning around to find her dogs, but you can see the expression on her face.

Frame 8This is the scene that the whole thriller was leading up to, the moment the antagonist kidnaps the protagonist, where the villain wins. This is a wide shot angle but it also happens in a quick shot, which is a convention of a thriller. You can also see the leather gloves, that you saw throughout. This is a anti climax moment, where you don’t see what happens after the scene, but it makes the audience want to see what happens next.

Frame 9This is the final shot of the film, its where the music dulls down a bit, yet it’s a simple but effect text. This is where the movie will start, then it will go onto the protagonist’s life.
