In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
The main source of inspiration was a promotional video produced by the Sandy Hook promise which was based on the theme of a school shooting and signs you should look out for in a school shooter. We used this because we already had the perfect location and cast to choose from at our fingertips. We thought that this idea was very effective as not many people have gone down this sort of horror path as it is diverse from a typical horror idea which contains ghosts and serial killers. We tried to stay away from copying the video and the audience were able to gain a more intimate character relationship and more of a look at why he did what he did rather than getting straight to the point of the shooting.
Below is an edit of where we got our inspiration from and why we did it
Overall our OTS challenge forms of conventions of real media products because what happens you don't expect. When people are watching this the first thing that they will assume is that it could be some kind of romance going on but all of a sudden it changes because no one actually knew what was going on. The way it develops the real media products is that the change of what is happening is not expected so it grabs the audience attention to carry on watching and even want to watch the whole thing.
