Evaluation Question 1

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

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

An example that our film opening was based on was that of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which was a film by Tobe Hooper in 1974 we think our film opening shows some aspects of this because of the stages of equilibrium, which is the theory of Todarov where by it starts with a dis-equilibrium and then goes back in time to the equilibrium, and we feel that we have done this with our slasher film
opening.



Next we also had an idea of some of the story line in our slasher film to go by what some of the Halloween  by Wes Craven in 1996 Film was about, where by in the stalking scene Barthes theory of narrative enigma is used to build up tension and mystery of who the killer actually is and we have used this technique in our slasher opening. Also the titles and opening credit is were based on the titles and credits of the Halloween film




Also the final films we looked at were Mad House and A Noghtmare on Elm Street because the idea we were going for fitted in with these examples and they could relate to these films due to narrative enigma and the scenes of the sexual activity and the intertextality with the title and A NightMare on Elm Street and Black Nightmare also with the mad house opening it shows the main idea of the dark rooms in the film and compares well with our film
