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

1. For the title of our film, we chose to use a black background to connote horror and suspense, the dark background also works well with the font that we chose. We decided to use a slightly faded font so that it looks slightly creepy.

2.This shows the location of our opening scene. it is dark and very secluded. it fits in with the stereotype of being in a place that makes you feel alone and venerable.

3.This shows our usage of props and costume. This is a very important part of any film because it shows the audience what type of characters there are. The man driving the car is wearing a suit because he is a teacher, this is very important to get across early on because it is a vital part of the film.

4. This is one of our edits in the opening shots. It is a cross fade, the fade makes the transition between shots smother and a lot less sudden. Camera work:

5. The font of our titles in the title sequence is a very plain font. It is 'Times New Roman' in white because it contrasts with the dark and grainy scenes of the title sequence. It also shows that we are serious. The font that we used for the title of the film 'A School's Nightmare' is very Gothic looking, it also looks like it is covered in blood which is perfect for our genre.

6. We needed an initial start point for the teacher being haunted by a ghost, so decided that the best idea was him running over one of his student. The opening building up to a peak just before the opening scene where everything then calms down again. From then on it, the characters within the film would have their story lines built upon.

7. The whole opening uses a dark effect to make the shots look gloomy. It is also completely set way from anything, this suggests the genre as horror it is very mysterious. It also shows the blood which is very stereotypical of horror.

8.The first characters introduced are four teenagers as they walk down a road together, talking and eventually splitting up. This is very casual which is a contrast to how the other character is introduced, the other character is first seen in multiple fast car shots and then a car crash.

9. We mainly only used two different types of edits, fades and a darkening filter. The darkening filter had to be used on every shot to make it look more gloomy and dark. The fades were used to make the shots flow together and look smooth.
