Evaluation question 2

Evaluation question 1

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

My media product uses conventions through a numerous amount of reasons. For example, from watching various kidnapping/robbery thrillers such as the film the Town directed by Ben Afleck, i used the idea of scary masks from the robbery scene for my kidnappers. I also used the concept of flashing affect in the film Man on Fire starring Denzel Washington for my scene when the girl gets kidnapped. I Finally used the concept of having a young girl getting kidnapped from the film Man on Fire as it is significant.















My Media product develops conventions through a few ways, such as I used the film Point break and Drive robbery scenes to get an idea of how the girl in my film is going to get kidnapped and the speed of it. I also used listened to the soundtrack of The Dark Knight and Gladiator to get a feel for the music I used.

Finally I challenged the way conventions through filming in a more family area of London and not in America which is very mainstream which makes it more unpredictable. I also used a variety of shots for each seen to get different angles to make an impact on the audience compared to using just two or three shots.
