Task 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

The fist title in our thriller is of a clocks second hand slowly ticking, this shows that time is slowly running out and helps to build tension.

After we have the ticking clock we use the institute, we decided to keep the text and the arrangement of our titles small and compact, this reflects the shot types we captured that all close up and claustrophobic.

Between each title we show the different stages at which the bomb is being built, not only does this make the viewer intrigued as to work out what is being constructed but also helps tie each scene together.

It is often the case that in the opening scene a thriller you are introduced to the main protagonist. Therefore, in our opening sequence we introduce our main character for our audience to identify with.

The scene which we shoot on location was a scene which we were influenced from The Dark Knight. We thought that ending our thriller this way was a good way to end it because it build tension and sets up an enigma as to what is going to happen next . The shot that was used in the Dark Knight was used as an introduction to the Joker, we subverted this by using this as an end shot as we found it had more of an impact.

Like Vantage point we had our final title to be big, bold and make it stand out. This is also the case for many other films; the title of the film is usually at the end and has an impact on the viewer in order to help the viewer remember the title.
