Task 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms or conventions of real media products?

In the first picture on the left hand corner, we used Lionsgate as our institution. This shows that the film is of a Thriller/Horror genre as Lionsgate specialise in this. Also, the large house in the background symbolises the wealth of the owner as well as creating an eerie atmosphere.

In the second picture going clockwise, using a Ferrari really helps portray more, the expensive lifestyle as well as showing that the subject has style. The black also conveys sexuality and danger.

The third picture clockwise, shows how the woman is linked to the car and that it belongs to her. It also highlights that she is going into the house, so she is the owner.

The first picture on the second row, is focusing on the background of the picture. The homely and cosy surroudings juxtappose to such a cold character. It also highlights the family life going on around her, which she doesnt exactly fit into.

 Second row, second picture in, is of our main actress, Helena Lageder. We used her due to her outstanding beauty and fantastic acting skills. She really fitted the role and was perfect to be casted as the stereotype of foreign/goldigging/young wife.

Second row, third picture along is a wide shot of Helena walking towadrs the camera. This shot shows off her outfit beautifully. The red dress conforms to the convention of danger and sex. Also, highlighting her beauty.

Third row, first picture, background again highlights the use of family things to portray a family lifestyle. It also shows the door in the background which is key later in the film.

Third row, second picture is of a picture we took to portray the type of cvouple living in the house. It is meant to show an older man, with a younger woman. Again confomring to a stereotype of a goldigger. It also teaches the audience about who 'Teddy' is, her husband.

Third row, last picture, is a shot showing the 'point-of-view' of our killer. We used this so that the audience would think she was being watched. Again adding to the eerie atmosphere and to create a tense atmosphere for our audience.
