In WHAT WAY DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP or CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

1.

1. In the beginning we have an establishing shot of the assassin from the back, looking toward the house. I think those shots are typical for a thriller or crime, because the lighting is dark and it builds tension, because we don't know what is going to happen and why he is looking at the house.

2.

2. This shot shows us that he is being controlled by someone. The ear piece we see, makes this clear for us. This is typical for a thriller because it's mostly psychological and there is a certain weirdness in it. It could also represent a crime, because we are looking for the man who talks to him through the ear piece and why he killed them.

3.

3. The first shot shows us the assassin with a gun and tells us immediately that he is a killer.
It is a typical thriller technique to reveal a killer and his target.
The shots 4 and 5 introduce the victims to teh audience.It is typical for a thriller that the target doesn't notice the killer until it's too late.

6.
In thosae shots we see that the assassin killed himself by pressing the gun against his chin. It's actually unusual because the assassin is the main character in most thrillers and it's all about assassination. In this case we decided to make it about the voice in the ear piece. We did so to give our psychological thriller a sense of mystery and the audience is left with more questions.
