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

Our film, Transit, aims to use generic conventions to establish the thriller genre and pay homage to other classic thrillers of its type. We also maintained that we had to try and challenge some of the generic convetions shown in our film in order to make it memorable and intruguing, as a new idea or concept is often something that makes a film stand out from the others. In order to achieve this, various aspects of the mise en scene were emphasised to indicate and connote the use of some generic conventions and also to challenge others.




Tick of the Clock is used in the opening scene of "Drive" in order to build tension and suspense.

 

"Emulsion" was influential because it is set in a very similar location and much of the action takes place within the car park.
