Evaluation-Question 1

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

Upon watching our media product you can immediatley tell what type of film it's going to be. It's a horror, and we make no secret of hiding this fact. The creepy music, the cuts in and out of credits and the diversion of seeing an intimidating figures face, it carries many of the horror genre conventions. However, our sequence also gives the audience many questions, not about what type of film it is, but what is actually going on. We actually show a murder in the title sequence but you are given know real clues as to why etc.

Also, like I mentioned before, you never see the killers face, setting up for the cliche 'whodunnit' which could possibly run throughout the whole film. It's hinted that the victim may have been homosexual but is not made blatantly obvious.
