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

Firstly our media product uses appropriate mise-en-scene as we created the opening to a horror film, and part of it was set in a graveyard. When looking at deleted scenes from Haunting in Connecticut we saw that they also did this....however we challenged this conventional method due to the fact that we filmed our graveyard scene in the day. This isn’t a typical trait of a horror film, however we feel it worked well in our project because we used the sunlight to enhance the emotion on Becki’s face and we felt that a young girl wouldn’t want to visit a graveyard at night to put flowers down, therefore it added to the realism of the production.
