Evaluation: Question 1

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

The traditional traits of a thriller film are the uses of fast paced action crossed with suspicion & suspense. The stories of thriller films tend to revolve around corrupt governments or syndicates with a lone hero or small group of heroes to take them on.

Characters within thriller films are generally shrouded with mystery & may seem fine one minute but could suddenly do the unexpected which keeps the audience intrigued as to what is going on.



I think that the conventions of my own thriller film have stayed closely on par with traditional conventions because there are several scenes of fast paced action such as Edd running across the moors or the car scene. There is also the action of a party where Brooks drink gets spiked & the use of flashbacks could give a twist on how the audience perceives what is going on. There are several flashbacks so the end result of our film will hopefully leave the audience in suspense as to who has killed Edd & they will want to watch the rest of the film to find out the truth.
