Evaluation - Question 1/part 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or change forms and conventions od real media products?

1.Our title of our film already gives a mystery to the film through the words used, “Don’t look back”. Like other thriller openings our film title also appear at the end of the film opening. The use of the colour's signifies what sort of genre it is such our film title colour is red as it is a horror thriller or conventions such as blood or death.

2.The setting suggests where the film is set. I used a high angle shot to get the view of the street and then it went in to a panning shot which shows the rest of the street. Many thrillers start off showing the scenery of the film at the beginning of the film such as in the film “Mirrors” the camera went across New York City.

3.The mask is our main prop as it features a lot in the opening in the newspapers. This gives a mystery to the film because it questions audiences what does the mask have to do with the film. The camera zooming in to the mask makes it look dominant to the audience to make them feel a bit scared.

4.We’ve used many different camera works such as this one which is a long shot of the character. The camera follows her behind in a long shot to signify that something is following her.

5.We used red for the colour's of our titles because is connotes death and also horror which is a main part of our film. The style of our titles is a red colour which then goes in to a white glow giving the titles a blurry effect.

6.The story is mostly told by the newspaper clips at the start as we zoomed in to the headlines of the newspapers to show what has happened so far.

7.The zoomed clip of the heading “Young girl” suggest that it’s a mystery type film also that is could be murder. This shows the genre of the film as a mystery film also a thriller as these genres have story lines where murder takes place.

8.Our character is first introduced in a close up of her face to show her expressions as she is worried someone is following her. Having a female character as the lead makes the film relate to most of our audiences who are women from the teen ages to adult age.

9.We made our production logo shatter as one of our effects in our opening. We made our logo shatter just like how glass would shatter as our logo name is Crystal Clear.
