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

Our film uses an varied amount of typical conventions under the gory horror genre and being even more specific we wanted our film to have the same effect from many other zombie films for example The Evil Dead.

Like many other zombie film we used the technique of creating the effect of what's actually like inside of zombie mind for the beggining of our two minute opening clip. First of all we had to film the zombie walking so we simply just handheld the camera to create the wobbling and stumbling effect of a zombie. We also had an blodded arm to furfil the zombie effect even more.                                                  

Clip from The Evil Dead

Our Clip

Once this was completed we had to edit that particular scene, most importantly we had to change the lighting otherwise we would of failed at the first hurdle, it wouldn't of looked realistic if we left the lighting unchanged. So we changed the lighting to an reddish colour to create the scence of an blood thristy zombie. We also added an blur effect to this scene to create realism and portray how sluggish an zombie actually is.


Also in most films of any genre, especially horror, the main protagonists in our film have been introduced from the beginning of the film in our case very early on the opening two minute. This is another example of us using typical conventions.
