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

I decided to choose this image from the original version of 'Halloween' as it is near identical to the shot found in our trailer. However our image shows the view through the gas mask, in comparison to the 'Halloween' shot, which shows it from the killers eyes. This was a very effective tool in showing the view of the antagonist for the film, and adds a sense of mystery, and conspires against the usual conventional themes of a horror film, in showing the antagonists point of view.

I decided to compare these two screen shots, because they both show a body being dragged across the floor, in a low angled close up. The difference between these two shots however is we used more artificial lighting in our trailer, compared to the natural lighting which is found in 'Nightmare on Elm Street.' This shot however is very conventional to show a body being dragged by an unknown terror. 

This is a comparison between our trailer 'Diederich' and 'Saw.' It shows both of the masked villains of the films charging towards the camera. The shots are very similar in terms of shot size, and character positioning, however once again more artificial lighting is used more on ours in order to detect the character easier, compared to that found in 'Saw.' This is another very conventionally found clip, as I noticed this was found in many 'Scream' films as well, and is a good way of creating terror and fear of an  unknown individual.

This shot from the 'Scream 4' trailer, is a very good comparison to the one found in our trailer. The arrangement of the shot, and the extreme close up on both of the masked faces is identical. The lighting used is also identical, as we used night vision on our shot in order to only light the mask. Both shots added a extra part of 'horror' at the end of the trailer, when you least expect it.

I compared the opening of the door image in our film 'Diederich' to the one found in the original 'Scream' trailer. As they both show a quick bit of terror on opening the door. The shot used in the 'Scream' screen shot however is of a close up, which is compared to the long medium shot found in our trailer. However both use natural lighting, and show that it is these residents home.

This is a screen shot from 'The Strangers' film.  It shows the sense of mystery of opening the door and nothing being there. The shot arrangement is identical, and they are both similar rooms in which these shots are taken. However 'The Strangers' shot does appear to have a yellow filter on, compared to ours which was just used with the enhancement of a couple of desktop lights. 

This is a comparison of the text used in 'Diederich' and 'The Strangers.' We based the majority of our trailer, on the findings that we discovered from analysing 'The Strangers' trailer. We used a similar background to that found in 'The Strangers' but modified the text in order to make it more relevant with the war theme.
