Evaluation questions 2

2) How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Our media film opening shot shows 3 teenage boys in a bedroom playing fifa, they are all represented in a stereotypical way as teenage boys who are at home are usually playing a console or on a computer. Later on in the film when there is knock on the door my character goes downstairs to see what it was and the way he acted is stereotypical to how a male teenager should act in that situation, He is curious and wants to know who it was so he goes out side to check if he can see anything, if the character was non-stereotypical he wouldn't of gone out side to check and would of ran back upstairs when you first see the antagonists face. After my character has explained what he has seen and there is another knock, all the characters again react as a stereotypical male teenager, what I mean by this is that there aren't any extreme reactions of fear and screams.

All the characters in our opening scene are represented as the social group. Our film would appeal to young adults and teenagers.

Evaluation questions 1

1) in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

the genre for our opening sequence is a horror. one of the generic conventions which are recognised within horror movies is blood/gore. We however have challenged this convention as we have not used this aspect in our production, the reason for this was because we did not think that we would need it in the opening as we played on the idea of suspense. If however our film continued for a full feature film, the element of blood and gore would have been incorporated. one of the films that we researched into was insidious,we got an idea from the scene when there is a bang on the door down stairs and theres no one there, then he goes back up, then the house alarm goes off, he goes back down stairs and the door is open, we also researched into strangers, we got the idea that when we are outside there was someone watching us. this is on of the conventions we used from the narrative of insidious and strangers.
