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

While filming our Thriller I tried to use as many techniques and camera shots as you would see on most films and shows shown on television. Most of the camera shots we use are edited well so that the scene cuts to another quite nicely, this also prevents from having any long panning shots, films like 'Sin City' can pull those off but we couldn't with ours being set much different. Another way we've used camera techniques from professional media productions is that our camera shots don't shake. I know I have mentioned this before but the fact that our camera shots don't shake in the film does count as us learning from TV developers. The shots we took initially followed the way films take their shots but it was the editing that developed it for us. The muzzle flashes, music and sound effects in the thriller opening are all edited in. Another way we've developed the filming is that every time we filmed a scene we would always do it more than once so that we could pick the best one and use it for the final product. Though our Thriller was more of a war film and a lot less scary or enticing as it should have been but we were able to fit it to be a successful production as shown by the likes and dislikes of our video.
