1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or change forms and conventions of a real media products?

 Genre

In our film we used specific paradimes to show our chosen genre, Thriller and our sub-genre, stalker thriller.
We used dialogue to show that or protagonist is alone and vulnerable where as in Prom Night, Donna thinks that her family are in the house, unknowing to her they are dead. 

 we used similar shot as Prom Nigh as we wanted the same creepy to our film. Here we see Donna walking through her house, we used this to establish the location and to show that Beth was alone. 





editing 
we used a slow pace at the start of our film to show that our character is calm and in little danger as well as creating tension with our audience. this was used in "Prom Night" to do the same.




sound 
in both Prom Nigh and my film, piano music is used the in back ground. we used detuned piano because it creates a more creepy vibe. where as in Prom night the piano is more soft to create a calming vibe. we wanted to cause alarm in our audience so that they know something is wrong and make them feel on edge and tense. this was because we wanted the phycological fear that beth has in our film to be transfered into our audience.

mise-en-scene
we wanted Laim to be in fully black as black connotes evil, death and mystery, it also shows that they are not to be trusted even though we dont see there face. Beth however is wearing a dark is demi jacket to show that she is not evil but that something bad might happen to her.
