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

In this project, we have aimed created an exciting, foreboding and immerse introduction. We have achieved this through following thriller conventions such as hand held camerawork and deep, suspenseful music, however have also used less established styling such as the projected titles which are used to immerse typography within the scene itself.

Also, by using the effect to create the illusion that a display monitor has been filmed, we were able to unconventionally appear to break the fourth wall. We were happy with this effect as it allows the audience to feel intimidated by the antagonist and immersed into the product.

We have not really challenged other existing conventions of the Thriller genre, and in my opinion I believe that the remainder of the opening sequence to "The Unbeliever" is fairly generic and fits comfortably within the thriller genre.
