In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop Or Challenge Conventions Media Products?
in this video clip it shows example for other clips from other media products to show how we have related to horror genre. In our OTS we have challenged and matched conventions. we had take inspiration from the films; the expelled (2010), the uninvited (2009), a perfect murder (1998)
why did we use these?
when our victim (Ella) comes face to face with the killer we didn't want to reveal to much of his identity because it would not come across to be as threatening and scary for the audience so the black hoodie and face down hides his face so he comes across more dangerous as we are unable to see his face. We got this idea from the expelled as we thought it looked very effective as it is hiding the killers identity, this causes suspense as we know the victim is in danger.
The use of the close up on the weapon helps make the audience realize the amount of power that the killer has over the victim and help with the gory side of horror because we know how they are going to be brutally murdered with that weapon.
When we were looking for inspiration we found a perfect murder and loved the way that there were a lot of action shots that were all fast paced and we wanted to put this into our OTS. We achieved this by putting in short clips of the killer killing its first victim in flash back type of effect so they audience would have an insight of what the killer is capable of.
