Evaluation 1 (In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media?)

The genre of a thriller follow specific devices so that it is able to build a particular effect on the audience.  Thriller films often be revolved around crime.  A lot of action will be conveyed in order to create a trill for the audience.  In many thriller films the protagonist will portray weakness that the antagonist will have advantage of, this may have the protagonist lead into perlous situations so that it can build the suspense and the action in the film. Thrillers include plots revolved around amnesia  mistaken identity and doppelgangers. Thrillers most of the time enigma in the beginning of the film and eventually begin to complicate them throughout until the climax is reached.  


Our piece of a begining to a thriller opening, develops and challenges forms and conventions in many ways for example, psychological thrillers, this is because it incorporates elements from the mystery and drama genre and also to the obvious traits of the thriller genre. For my thriller i took the idea of someone being tided up in a garage from a music video i viewed a while back, which was a grime music video. Below is the music i used the idea from for my thriller, if you would like to see the part i look at fast foward it to 3 minutes 34 seconds because the rest of it is irrelevant.

Throughout my thriller scene suspense and tension is built. As leon Andre is walking home, we see still shots of someones arms tided together, then a view of the persons legs tided together, at this point it builds the audiences suspence because they are keen to see what the person who is tited up looks likes, and they may have the thoughts of this person being dead or not. The tension comes about when the antagonists drops the knife while the atmosphere has become dark and gloomy, the music changes as this scene occurs, which allows the audience feel on edge. We also allowed the antagonist's face not to be seen until the end , which enforces the mystery of the character. The antagonist is suited in full black revealing that he is superior and also getting the sense that his intensions are to do evil.

The images below show what i have explained.

 

The things of our thriller that are origional to most thrillers is that the mystery of the antagonist isn't reveal until the end as we don't see his face throughout until he comes in, to murder the protagonist's. Although this end scene blacks-out and we do not see what happens to the protagonist, this here is called a cliff hangers, allowing the audience to be left and think what may occur next.
