In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real med

Page 1

Our media product is the opening of a thriller film and we considered the conventions of the genre throughout our project, using many of them. Principally, our narrative is quite typical; a vulnerable young woman is kidnapped by a threatening man. Kidnappings (especially of innocent women by a man/men) are prevalent in thriller films, such as 'The Disappearance of Alice Creed', 'Taken' and 'Fargo'. However, our film does challenge the convention of having a male protagonist because our main character is a teenage girl. As well as in the plot of our film, thriller conventions can be seen in various other aspects, evident in individual shots (such as these nine shots from our film opening).
