Alannah Perry Question 1

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

In our media film the main character is a stalker which is a common convention in a thriller. cape fear and one hour photo are some examples of films that have stalkers in them. In each film the staler has an obsession, in one hour photo for example the man is obsessed with a family which reflects who he is, a lonely man with no family and so therefore he wants what he can't have. However in our film as we decided the stalker would be a teenage female we decided that her obession must be relevant to teenager's today and so we decided that she would be obsessed with a music star, as many teenagers could relate to this however the obsession turns into something more deadly.

Also in a lot of thriller films the opening is very suggestive but doesn't give to much away which we tried to do, we showed a fan writting a letter to a star and we established a storyline but made sure that we didn't give too much away so the audience would have to wait for it the plot to unfold.
