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

           

This first image is taken from our first shot of the sequence. It is used to establish the fact that our victim is on her own after leaving a club. This upholds the conventions of a film sequence because the fact she is on her own makes it more believable for her to be vulnerable and to be kidnapped by the driver.

We wanted to show the difference between a licensed cab taxi and an unlicensed taxi. By having the real taxi drive off and dismiss the safety of the girl conforms to the conventions of our sequence because it is no longer definate that she is getting into a real taxi.

This screenshot is to show that the girl was first of all in a busy town with little chance to be hurt because she was around the public. You could argue that this image subverts the conventions of a thriller film sequence because she is safe, however this changes when she enters the taxi. So it quickly conforms the conventions of a Thriller film.

In this shot the driver is showing the girl her driver's license that he has stolen. This conforms to the conventions of a thriller film sequence because even before he had shown her the audience were already catching onto the idea that this driver wasn't normal. However when he shows the stolen driving license the audience now definately know he is not normal and infact very dangerous and has been following the girl or keeping track of her in some way

This screenshot is to show the struggle and dispair of the girl when she realises she is in danger from the driver. This conforms to the conventions of our thriller sequence because the viewer now knows for definate that something is wrong and she is in danger.

The last image shows the driver in the foreground and the Girl in the background placing them at different levels of power between the two. This image conforms to the conventions of a thriller film sequence because the audience can tell that the driver has power over the victim by the menicing look in his face and the fact that he has her life in his hands by him being behind the wheel of the car.
