Evaluation Question One Script

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
"Our media product challenges forms and conventions of real media products as the protagonists in films of the genre action/thriller are usually male and middle aged such as Bruce Willis' character in Die Hard (1988).  Females tend to be represented as weak and dependent on men so despite this, we decided to challenge this stereotype and made our main character a young teenaged female.
However, we followed the convention of high key lighting being cast upon our protagonist to highlight her position as an important, positive character in the opening, alike Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
The absence of dialogue follows the reality convention of thriller/action movies. Realistically, you would not talk aloud to yourself while in our protagonists situation so our choice of only having one line of dialogue "shit", which is a reaction, emphasizes the quality of reality.
Also, the use of flashbacks follows the thriller mind and perception conventions; of a view of the world around him/her and his/her conscious, mind and thought likewise shown in The Unusual Suspects (1995)."
