Max: For this first part of our evaluation we will explain how our media product develops or challenges forms and conventions of 'real' media products.
Ashleigh: In this first screen shot we establish 2 characters a police detective and a witness. The shot shows very stereotypical types of behavior reinforced for this scenario (the detective is stern while the witness is very stressed and very uneasy) and as such shows this character reinforcing stereotype.
In this next shot we see another development of convention for this movie. the witness holds up evidence (which we see with the use of an over the shoulder shot) this is a standard stereotype of 'real crime' as evidence is shown in a crime scene environment. this once again reinforces stereotype.
In this shot we see the stern faced detective giving a rather judgmental look to the witness we feel the witnesses' emotion through the use of the over shoulder shot we see the situation from the witness point of view. this reinforces the stereotype because this is how a police detective would act in an interrogation interview
In this shot convention is reinforced the reason for this is we have no idea who this man staring at the london eye. The stereotype that has been set up for this character is one of mystery, this causes the Who is he? what does he want? why is he important in this film? which reinforces the stereotype of crime thriller as we now have further elements of mystery added to the story instead of just two men talking in an interrogation room
In this shot we see a single photo of a map of
London with pins surrounding certain areas in the city this is a reinforcement of stereotypical police behavior that shows the police officers/ detectives involved in this films case are focused around the city of London which reinforces thriller conventions and stereotypes as cities are common locations for thriller's
In this next shot we see a view of a distinct london sight Piccadilly Circus this shot reinforces conventions of thriller as thrillers productions are usually set in busy locations such as cities therefore this shot reinforces convention.
In this next shot we can see that a key character is being shown as in the photo (which can be seen by the fact he is in focus while everyone else remains outside of focus and blurred) this once again reinforces thriller convention as we have been given a character who is shown to be an important part of the story yet we are given nothing else about him, not even a face view, which in turn creates mystery and suspense (a common thriller convention)
The next shot that we have is also reinforcing conventions of thriller as this shot further builds a n air of suspense and mystery around the character (much like the previous shot) instead in this shot a different effect is used to show he is a mysterious person. As he walks down the street the camera begins to un - focus further showing the audience that the character is both critical to the story and mysterious.
The final shot shown here once again reinforces stereotype of thriller conventions as in our production we used conventional font and colors in our title screen (black and grey) which reinforces stereotype as we have used the same kind of font and color scheme that has been used in thrillers such as se7en and inception meaning stereotype was reinforced.
