In what ways does your media product use,develop or challenge forms andconventions of real media products?By researching different types of films at the beginning of the task, it helped me in the way of realising what the conventions ofmedia actually were and how i could develop them within my own two minute scene task. 'Annabelle' is a film that i chose toanalyse, as it is a normal stereotypical horror, and therefore gave me insight on what to add and what not to add. I also analysed'The Excorsist' and found out there were many typical conventions such as:A calm diegetic sound at the start of the film to set the pace -equilibrium; During the firstscene there are lots of fast paced shots to let the watcher know it is going to be a scaryfilm; more horror scenes than normal scenes - disequilibrium; the sound track oftenchanges pitch when horror scenes are being shown; moist probably a protagonist andantagonist shown.We took these conventions into consideration and then used some for our own two minute scene. We decided to use:Lots of different fast paced shots; antagonist and protagonist shown and a 'thriller' soundtrack.We continued to use a stereotypical scene in our two-minute task, and used two people who are running from anantagonist, however, we challenged the conventions by having the victims as two males and not two females, asthe stereotypical victims would be seen as girls. So therefore we switched the gender roles to to essentially thechange the typical conventions.While researching further into narratives of the conventions of films ihave found out that Todorov's theory explains the narrative of the films, ihave found out that Todorov's theory explains the narrative of the filmand how they follow it.While researching about Todorovs theory ihave found out that my group and i didnot use it in chronological order, however,we have still used elements in it withinour short scene.Overall i believe that my pre-lim task and my final piece bothchallenge the stereoytpical normal narratvives of typical films and ibelieve it also looks very professional and done preeorply with the webtools we used to edit it.Also, i feel that even though we challenge the gender conventions, we also usedtraditional story lines in order for the scene to be more appealing.Double click this nodeto edit the textClick and drag this buttonto create a new node
