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

In my Media Product i decided not to add any music for my opening as the music i chose was too 'in your face' it was too bold for an opening so i decided to have no music and focus mainly on using sound effects. even though dark music is a convention of a horror film i thought it created more a suspenseful feeling without music (helps the audience to engage with the film better). Props were used quite well in my opening scene. i used candles, matches + match box, candle holder, a book and a knife. Knives are a common convention within a horror film as they are classed as a dangerous item along side other household items and garden equipment. However the Knife was used to stab a book instead of a villain such as a person or possessed animal (no Blood was viewed in the opening as because it was the beginning of the film you may want it to be as innocent as possible if you want the audience to believe your story). Relating back to sound, Sound Effects were used for the Demons 'Demons' Voice, i mainly wanted to build on the idea that the voices were running mad in his head, driving him insane. Demonic/Demons is also another Convention of a horror film. My Horror Film challenged conventions by incorporating the end Scene at the start of the film. in horror films such as 'Insidious' they show the Demonic household with the child in the bed, this is done with no narration but also mainly focused on a soundtrack with creepy, eerie music, they then show the title at the end of the opening credits. My opening credits relate to this as there is barely any narration accept on the demons voice saying 'I will kill you, Get out!!!'.
