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

Firstly there’s how the music is in time to the titles to keep the whole thing synced but also, this is a development on the music itself to give it more flow. I have used the element of mystery to keep the character interesting. When this man presents different emotions to the camera, it leaves the audience to interpretation on what the characters mental state is or what the situation is. Of course because this is a thriller, it’s not impossible to come up with viable ideas, but never the less the audience is hooked. People like puzzles. Speaking of characters, this one fits the conventions of a thriller – he seems unstable, he has weird clothes on that are justified by the situation due to their practicality. This is whilst mixing them with rather unconventional clothes (like a suit for example) to show a bit of backstory of any events beforehand. The music fits conventions of thrillers – it’s creepy, suspenseful and mysterious. It does develop on the convention of tension as it builds and releases it several times. The opening is meant to be thrilling but not like a horror movie where all the tension is released at once because it’s hard to build that back up again. There are three tension breaks, the title at the start, the eyeball and the title at the end. The biggest break is the eyeball and it’s a very risky one as well as it can scare the daylights out anyone sheepish enough which would contradict my objective. The tension thankfully stays high throughout so the audience aren’t tired out by the first 3 minutes.
