This document discusses how a media product was created to use, develop, and challenge conventions of real horror films and trailers. Research was conducted on target audiences for horror films and common camera techniques used in the genre. The trailer used dramatic camera angles and point-of-view shots to invoke fear, as is common for horror trailers. However, it challenged conventions by not including a backstory for the victims and instead focusing more on revealing the villain's motives through titles.

In what ways does your media product useuse, develop, develop or challenge formschallenge forms and conventions of real media products? In order to create a successful media product there are a number of vital research, planning and production skills necessary. Researching your target audience enables you to construct you media product accordingly, especially with ancillary texts. In a magazine targeted for male audiences you would expect it to have advertisements that would appeal to its gender, therefore knowing your audience is a key factor To use conventions of real media products I began with I constructing a hypothesis as a way to set a plan of action, as to how I wanted my horror film to turn out through seeing different forms of convention that make a horror film scary. I researched who the appropriate target audiences are for horror films, through statistics I was informed on the average age and target audience for individuals who watch horror films
The conventions of horror trailer involve a number of dramatic camera anglesdramatic camera angles when showing the main characters which I feel our trailer did. The way we used high angles and point of view shots can make you evoke fear which is essential in making a horror trailer. These are cameras that watch over the area around the train station and films over the tracks. Although we couldn’t use footage from the CCTV camera, we developed this by using a hand-held camera to film at a high angle to watch the girls as they walk towards the train station platform. Developing conventions of real media products In the majority of horror film trailers you can normally tend to see a substantial amount of either the victim and a little insight of what’s currently happening in their life now or either occurrences in their past or show more of the villain and their motives behind their malicious actions. But we thought that we would challenge the conventions of some media products and not put a back story to the two victims, to show them as just normal girls. However to reveal our villains motives we used titles, where we added phrases such as ‘he sees everything’. ChallengingChallenging forms and conventions of real media conventions?
