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

In both screen shots 4 and 6 it shows the fonts that I had used, I downloaded them from dafont.com. I used this font because i thought it look like a horror like font that would be used in the media in this day in age. I used the white for it to stand out from the background, making the audience look straight at it something which the media uses today. The 6th screen shot is also the same font as what i used on my movie poster so my audience would recognise my film because of the title. I used screen shot 4 because films such as 'Sinister' use them in their trailers to keep the audience interested.
Shot 2 shows some camera angles and work i used through out my trailer. In this particular shot I used going from out of focus to keep the audience questioning to in focus to show them what it going on. Many horror trailer use this technique to build tension.
Shot 5 shows the main character, this is the first time we see her face up close, which is 3/4 of the way into a trailer, making the audience wonder and think about who the main charcter is and what is going on. Previously she is either out of focus or far away and it was too dark to see her in detail.
In shot 3 it shows camera skills as I used hand held camera to create tention for the audience something that is used in productions in this day in age in films such as 'The Blair Witch Project'.
Also all the lighting in the screen shots, 1,2,3 and 5 use dark lighting in a cinematic style of a horror trailer usually used to keep the audience waiting on edge.
Overall my trailer used cinematic style of a horror through out.
