Evaluation // 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

  1. A strong response - to strengthen:

    1) More screen shots from real thriller films/TV crime dramas.

    2) Costume: Like your use of ambient lighting, the costumes of the characters are recognisable and reflect contemporary high street fashion trends. The purpose is to reinforce realism though the location itself connotes an alternative reality....this Lars is a convention of thrillers, for example in "Gangs of New York" (has qualities of a thriller) the audience seems to be dragged into a closed off world isolated from reality, thus thrillers like action adventure, sci fi and horror genres a hyper reality is represented.

    3) Think about including an extra slide on how your opening uses the forms and conventions of the opening to a film, for example credits (starring..... title...and cliff hanger). Clearly you will need to upload clips from the openings to thrillers to illustrate your points.

    With these revisions a potential strong Level 4
