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


My audience for this film would be people who are interested in the psychological/horror genre and also people who are curious as to what the genre holds. Some of my inspiration for this project are the films: Gothika, the butterfly effect and the intro of se7en. The reason for Gothika inspired me was because of the storyline, it has such an in depth creepy storyline which keeps the viewer watching until the end. The butterfly effect made me realise you can start a film off with the ending just like 'American Beauty' and 'Sunset Boulevard'. Using this technique changes the whole way the audience watches the film because as the films goes on they try and piece together how the ending is going to come about. Then onto the masterpiece that is the intro to 'se7en' it has some of the most creative editing techniques used to create such an eerie feel from the very start.
