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

Genre is a style or category of art, music or literature. The genre upon which I have made my film is suspense-action. I have chosen Warner Bros. as my institution. I referred to these Warner Bros movies which influenced me to make suspense genre film. The movies are “Dark knight rises”, “Inception” and “Final Destination 5”. I chose these films because these are the suspense films with a bit of an action and diversifying ways of deaths especially in “Final destination 5”.

My entire film was shot inside the house, in a room. I have used modern props to relate my movie with my reference films. My characters have used mobiles, earphones, laptops, ashtray and dagger. Mobile phones have been widely used in many of the Warner Bros movies and also in my reference films for the purpose of communicating with other characters. Moreover, I have earphones and sunglasses to show that my character is fashionable. There are two characters in my movie. Character A is shown as a businessman, hence his formal attire. On the other hand, my second character is a killer that is why he is dressed up casually and he is wearing a black mask which connotes dark and evil.

Suspense movies either has very slow editing pace or very fast. The editing pace of my movie is smooth and I have made use of match on action too which is part of the editing. My movie title appears on the black background same as Warner Bros movie title appears on screen.

Similarly, I have also made my movie title on black background.

In almost every movie, protagonists are attacked by antagonists but in the end protagonists are able to defeat antagonists. However, in my movie, protagonist is killed by an antagonist in the end.
