  EVALUATION, QUESTION ONE

  IN WHAT WAYSDOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGED FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?I believe that my media product follows the codes and conventions of a real media product in many ways. We researched many horror films to make sure we understood the traits of the films and this would help us portray and challenge the horror genre. On this PowerPoint I am going to be showing you 9 key screen shots from my film and how we used, developed or challenged the codes and conventions of a real media product.

  SCREENSHOT 1 This ismy first screenshot, it is the title of the film. I think it follows the codes and conventions of a horror film because of the name, because called ‘The Haunting’ would only fit with the horror genre because being haunted is associated with things like ghosts and paranormal things. I didn’t want to make the title to complicated, I thought having it very plain on just a dark background is very simple.

  SCREENSHOT 2 AND3 This second and third screenshots are the location in which my film was set, in a big old fashioned house. Because there is lots of trees around it makes the house look isolated. This is typical of a horror film because normally the house being isolated makes the protagonist look vulnerable because they aren’t protected from the antagonist.

  SCREENSHOT 4 This ismy 4th screenshot I chose, I like this shot because it shows we are using a different camera angles. Another reason why I chose it was because it looks as if someone is watching her but she doesn’t realise, which gives makes it more creepy for the audience.

  SCREENSHOT 5 This ismy 5th shot, I like this shot because it is at this part in the opening sequence when it starts to become more like a horror film, because it is in black and white and there isn’t a lot of lighting you cant really see the persons face, which makes it creepy and you can tell that this person is the antagonist

  SCREENSHOT 6 I likethis shot because it can make the audience ask a lot of questions, why is the person led in the dirt? Have they been killed and if so who or what by? Another reason I like it is because of the text message, it kind of tells the story and shows that the daughter is coming home to see her parents.

  SCREENSHOT 7 AND8 A reason why I chose both these shots together is because I want to show the way I used the credits, I stuck to a simple back background with simple white writing because I didn’t want to overcomplicate the titles because I have used effects on them. As you can see from these two screenshots the writing fades on and off of the screen, I thought this was a good idea and would make the titles not too boring but not too complicated.

  SCREENSHOT 9 I chosethis screenshot because I think this is part of the film the audience will find really exciting to watch because the protagonist is unaware that the antagonist is watching them. In this scene we also used only natural lighting because we don’t want to reveal the antagonists face and because they are quite far away from the camera it is hard to see them.
