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

My media products challenges the conventions of a real media product in a unique way. Through its mise-en-scene for example. A typical thriller is normally set in open landscapes, dark forests or abandoned warehouses. one half of our media products is set in a populated place with a lot of lights, surrounded by trees and animals, this is unlike the conventions of a thriller and so challenges the conventions of a typical thriller.

However the second half of our media product uses similar techniques of a realm media product. Our cinematography includes long range shots to suggest to the audience how the main character looks so vulnerable in such a open space. Our mise-en-scene for the second half is much darker, open and lifeless which suggests something completely different to the first half. We did this to try and develop on the typical conventions of a thriller and to make our media product something differently and create a false image of what is going on and make them think differently.

Here is a screenshot of the location for the second half our media product. As we can see its very similar to real media products, a wide open location with not a lot of light and not much to it, this is very similar to a real media product "The Hills Have Eyes". The screenshot below is one taken from a part in "The Hills Have Eyes" it makes you feel that the character is alone in the dark where they could be anything, this is typical of a thriller conventions as thrillers are designed to make you think of what is going on and what could happen. This is a great example of how they do this through their mise-en-scene and cinematography. With our media product we designed ours similar, to make the audeience think of what is going on and what could happen, following similar conventions of a typicla thriller but yet challeneging them to try and create something unique and interesting.
