Fadila Kara: QUESTION 1

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

  •    Our   thriller  opening  sequence  challenged  the  form  of  other psychological  thrillers  as we  subverted  the conventions. When we looked at psychological thrillers like"  Fight Club"  and  " Seven"  we noticed that the non- diegetic music  would build up throughout. However  we decided  to subvert  this  as  our  music  begun with a very  calm to  tone which allowed the  audience to  question  the   innoncece of  our  protagonist. 

·          However  we  also  adhered to  the  forms  of  real   psychological  thrillers  as  typically  the  first  two  minutes  of   the opening  sequences  lacked  in  dialogue.  An example  of  this   is   the opening  sequnce  to  Alfred Hitchcook's "  Rear Window"  which  uses  non-  diegetic sound to  hint the narrative and   introudce the  main character to  the  audience.


·         The  title  of  our  thriller "  Wrath"  develops   the  conventions  of psychological  thrillers  as its    name  in which  allows  the  audiecne to  question the  narrative.  Furthermore we  used  " Wrath"  as it    means  anger which   allows the  audience  to  question the  anger  of  our  main charcter  and  wonder weather  the  character  anger  leads  to  her  naurotic actions. 

Through the  use  of shot  composition we were  able  to  emphasise   the  disturbed  nature main  character.  This is a typical convention of   psychological thrillers.  We  used   close-  ups  and  mid-  shots  to   exemplify  to  the  audience  how  isolated she was  but  also  to  illustrate  her  neurotic  behaviour.
