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

After doing our questionnaire we decided to do a paranormal thriller and therefore we included forms and conventions of a paranormal thriller. We used the forms and conventions from other thrillers by forshadowing what is going to happen in the rest of the film in the opening. We have also used music that helps to build suspense which is another typical convention of thrillers. We got most of our inspiration for the opening from the film 'Se7en' this opening uses flashing images that don't give away the storyline to the audience but they do forshadow what is going to happen and leaves the audience wanting to know more which is what we aimed for in our opening. Below is an image of all of the characters from the opening and what they are wearing.
