Question 1- in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
In our film we have used many different conventions of the thriller genre is:
Powerful Villains- the Dr is a powerful character in the film and has alot of power and resources and uses it for evil.
a film that is like this is "North by North West" where the bad guys have more power and better resources and facilities and equipment.
Frequent Action/Fast Paced- how it fades in and out from the talking scenes to the murder scenes.
Underdog- Rupert is the underdog and is being made to do things he doesn't want to because the Dr is abusing his power.
Sexuality Stereotyping (Sexism)- The two main characters are male and they are the stronger characters out of the three shown in our short intro. the female is shown as being weak and getting attacked and as a target for the men to kill. but also one male character, Rupert is shown as weak minded because he is hypnotised and then is under the Dr's command and does anything he wants him to do.
another film this is the Birds when the female character seems weak and scared and relies on the male character a lot in the film.
