Evaluation question 6

Evalaution question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

I chose Lionsgate as my production house as it is a very attention grabbing shot, taking up the whole screen in my opening sequence to attract fans of my thriller. I hoped that using this audiences would immediately accept a high quality and entertaining film, I would be excited by what was to come.

I chose to put Vanished film title at the end of the opening sequence in capital letters and in white so that it would stand out to my audience and make them think the girls kidnapping. The letters themselves appeared and then disappeared which I though would make the audience clearly understand the metaphor to which resembles the girl in the film.

I used two different types of sound; diagetic and non diagetic. The first one is a non diagetic, dramatic and percussive. I tried to use music which builds up tension as I recognised that my target audience would like films which kept them on the edge of their seats, I did that by precisely using the tense music as it makes the audience nervous and anxious. The diagetic sound includes the screeching of the car going by. This immediately creates tension as if something very bad is going to happen soon.

In my mies en scene I used Scream Masks from the film Scream for my kidnappers as they are widely due to the franchise of the film. My audience will know the Scream films well as it is a classic of the horror genre and by seeing the masks they will immediately associate it with horror and thriller.

Vanished Evalaution Question 3 from Max Frankel

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.
