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

When we started to look at genre of films back in AS we saw that all different forms of media have different set ups. for example, a horror film would be dark with lots of shadows, long cuts of the actor looking scared to build up suspense, that kind of thing. whereas an action film would be very fast paced cuts, different lighting depending on the shot ect. when i looked into comedy deeper i noticed that it had many sub layers of editing to keep the audience laughing, for example the contrasting colours of objects can subconsciously make the item more funny. I found that with my piece of work, i developed on this idea, and so even though you don't actually see the fly in the film itself, you can imagine it, and i personally think that has a more powerful effect on the audience than watching the fly. sometimes the best jokes are the ones you have to picture in your head right? The contrast of colour's i used helped the film's comedy value, with dark and contrasting light symbolizing anger, paranoia and frustration from the main character. in our generation today, all young people are sharing videos of all sorts on youtube and vimeo. from escaping parrots to rapping teachers the internet has the lot and guarantee someone has filmed it. My film follows the general lines of a straight foreward comedy. guy gets annoyed at fly, breaks things and gets fired. simple yet effective. however in most films which includes a fly you would probably see the fly, but i challenge the conventions of this and decided to let the audience picture the fly themselves adding comedy effect.
