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

In what ways does my product use ,develop or challenge forms of conventions of real media products? After analysing so many different thrillers the result of our finished thriller or product was a smooth finish. Within thrillers there are many different types of thriller conventions. Some of these conventions are; enigma's, mystery. suspense and sometimes a convenient twist. Our thriller consists of a few conventions commonly used in many thriller films today.  One of the key conventions in the opening of our thriller is that we used a great deal of mystery. The main part where we use alot of mystery is the first minute where we were influenced greatly by the film "se7en".

As you can see by looking at these images our film extract was very similar to parts of Se7en as our group was greatly influenced by that film. Another key thriller convention which our thriller uses is suspense. We use a great deal of suspense in the second half of our extract. This is the half where we change the audio and scene to an alleyway where a young innocent girl is being chased. The key to the suspense in this part is where the killer is slowly following his victim. The tension and suspense is build throughout the short chaise until he finally kills her and the actions slows again. My thriller has certain aspects of it that make it different to other thrillers. An example of these differences is the fact that no other film has done a opening like ours. We use 2 key conventions allot in the first two minutes which is allot more than allot of the other films.
