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

In the above two pictures, logos from different production companies can be seen, all of which are usually shown before a trailer or movie starts. This is very common in not only horror movies but all movies as the production companies what to get credit for producing their moves and because some people have a tendency to watch movies created by a particular company. This means that companies are able to attract an audience just with the production logo. As you can see in the first picture we created a production logo "ROUNCE" which follows these conventions as well as starting within the first 15 seconds of a trailer.


Above in the second picture shows a girl from the horror movie "Orphan" and in the first shows our young girl in the "CULT" from my trailer. What both have in common is that binary opposition is used to portray the girls as innocent little girls when they are in fact not. This is something that is used constantly in horror films and follows the horror conventions, as someone starts off good (in this case an innocent girl) and ends up bad as it moves to the end of the film.



Above in the second picture is fire in in the horror movie "11-11-11" and in the first shows fire in the "CULT" from my trailer. The reason i chose fire is that it has many connotations but a strong connotation connected to hell. As my trailer and "11-11-11! both have some kind of religious view in it I found that there are some conventions of horror to fire, although not enough to be branded a horror convention. The fire in our trailer was used to convey a sense of quick bursts of hell followed by religious gore cross to convey the religion in the trailer.



Above in the second picture shows the gore in "Saw" and in the first picture shows gore in "CULT" from my trailer. What both have in common is that they both use the convention of gore in a horror movie. The only difference is that "Saw" uses gore on an extreme level where as "CULT" doesn't and uses complex iconography to represent the gore in a religious way.



Above in the second picture is woods in "Blair Witch Project" and in the first picture shows forest in the "CULT" from my trailer. What both have in common is that they are both set in a forest environment which is a horror movie environment convention. The difference between my trailer and the "Blair Witch Project" is that the camera in our trailer isn't hand held.
