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

At the start of the film opening me and a other member of the group a logo which was the corporation which would be marketing the thriller the 'Russ Studios Corporation', The logo was animated ( using Adobe after effects) which is a common feature which production company used to create there logos and opening animation for their logos. In the first opening scenes we used non-copy righted footage of a police car speeding down a road and police tape blowing in the wind. After the car scene, text can be seen which give contextual background information to are young audience about what has happened, to give some information on what has happened and way the 'murder' is hiding in this church. What this does is it sets the scene for the audience but makes them what to know more on where he is and what doing at this time. This techniques is used to set the scene for the audience which is used a lot by media companies. This technique is also used a lot in firms by media company's, as it creates a form of suspense for the audience and therefore makes them want to continue watching. We also dressed the characters in more realistic clothing like in real life with the police officer wearing a real police uniform we was kindly offered to us by a member of the police force. We also want to make the character Sharp to be in more dark but also comfortable clothing like an everyday person would wear. However we did go against some convection of thriller by going to an church which was on an main road and usually is thriller take place which are like are are mainly in an rural setting. To block out the sound of the urban background we mainly used soundtracks in the beginning however we only used a small amount of dietetic sound because of this.
