In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Before we started our trailer, I researched into different trailers to gain a good understanding of the conventions. Such as:  Friday the 13th (Marcus Nispel 2009) Scream (Wes Craven 1996)  Let me in (Matt Reeves 2010)
While I researched into the horror genre, the repeating conventions found within plot lines, titles and characters were:  Protagonists,  Stock Characters and Making sure that the plots and stock situations are predictable and recognizable.
In most trailers, masks are often used for antagonists to highlight the separation and isolation.  My bloody Valentine (George Mihalka 1981) Freddy vs Jason (Ronny Yu 2003)
Our aim… Was to create a sense of realism a sense of realism through the use of iconography.  We challenged the conventions by having our antagonist exposed in a long gown with blood and bruises.
Themes… We became influenced by revenged theme trailers such as:  I spit on your grave (Steven R. Monroe 2010)  Nightmare on Elm Street (Samuel Bayer 2010) We projected the message through voice-overs and use of dialogue in the trailer.
Characters… The protagonist are usually heroes or villains that have the same qualities across a number of genres such as :  Resident Evil (Paul W.S Anderson 2002)  The Sixth Sense (M. Night Shyamalan 1999)
