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.
