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

Our film was focused around the chase scene which only really excluded the first few parts and an end part of our film. Not a very convention challenging idea so far, we even used a similar style of camera work as the “Bourne Ultimatum” train station scene. In the Bourne film it is more of a case of get caught or escape, whereas in our film we feel the character has walked straight into something straight away, he has already been caught and he is being played with.

The Bourne film is very realistic, in terms of characters, effects and is made to be seen as a real event. This is where we felt our film challenged conventions, despite it seeming like a real chase the second character, or the hunter, was a mysterious character. Was he just a man with a saw or was he something more demon like, we left this unanswered as we used effects to have the second character flitting about the screen and jumping from position to position. This connotes that the man is in fact a something of a supernatural being, although appearing human. This anchors our chosen genre of horror and not thriller.
