Thriller evaluation Question 1
In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
There are many convention that make a thriller, and these convention make make and build the suspense and tension that make audience connect and feel for a character. Our thriller uses convention like suspense to to have the audience connect to worry and connect to our character. The setting for our thriller was inspired by the film "Fargo". We felt that the snow added an element of being alone as well A giving our thriller a unique look. What I believe that out thriller achieved that is unique is the dependence on technology that people have in their every day live.

Thriller evaluation question 2
How does your media product represent particular social groups?(gender, age, sexuality, ethnicity etc)
Our thriller represents teenagers and the main character in our thriller opening is 17 years old When thinking about the Mise-en-scene of the character we thought about how he would look, we decided that we wanted him to look urban and casual, this is why our character is seen to be wearing a blue striped hood,jogging bottoms and trainers.we also gave him a bag to wear. The bag was to show that urban young teenagers are in a rush to go places and that they carry things with them when going out.
Our thriller shows teenagers in negative way. Teenagers are show and being too reliant on social media, and that this reliance has left them to be naive which leaves to out main protagonist being kidnapped due to his curiosity about the text message on his phone. Our thriller does not really present sexuality or ethnicity in any particular way, it concentrates on age.
