Evaluation - Q1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challange forms and conventions of real media products?




Our media product was intended to use conventions from other media products such as the successful psychological thriller Se7en. In preparation before we filmed our thriller, we researched many different thriller films, looking at the variety of different genres, and we finally decided that it would be best for the sub-genre of the thriller to be psychological. The subgenre of out thriller also consisted of elements from out subgenres such as horror, mystery and supernatural.

For our music consists our conventions from the soft rock genre, although we recorded and created and produced the music ourselves using instruments such as a guitar and a piano. The inspiration behind this was influenced by the reserch of other music from a variety of thriller films. We looked in depths of analysing the other films before using ideas for our own.

We also looked at the lighting of other thrillers; and we found a mixture of light and dark scenes.
We focused on the characters, lighting and features from other psychological thriller films. The opening sequence of our thriller film was influenced by the one of the most successful psychological thriller film, Se7en.

As you can see, the font styles and colours are similar. Originally we were going to use black backgrounds in between the clips for some of the credits. Unfortunately, after some thought we decided it would be best not to as it did not all fit into the right scale and timings of out thriller. We still briefly used the idea, overall and used this as an advantage to explore our own original ideas.

Our product title 'Karma' was influenced hugely by the storyline which revolves around the fact that the main character is trying to seek revenge towards her ex bestfriend, ruining her childhood.
The title 'Karma' is also a distorted like the one shown above, purposely taken the idea from Se7en and interpreted it in our own way.
