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

Still Photo Frame

In the first which is the top right corner I have chosen to place the Demon part of the title  We decided to have the main title in three different parts as it enters dramatically fading in, zooming out then fading out the music changes and their is a big dramatic bang as each word of the title appears. We chose the title 'The Demon Human' because like the movie it is confusing but once you watch the opening you be able to understand that is why we have chosen to end our opening sequence with the title and not start with it.

The second shot I chose top left is of the setting and location we have chosen to show the location in a med shot show that the audience can see the house her and that it is on the corner of the street. we chose this location so that the audience can feel that this type of situation can happen any where because it has a very normal atmosphere to it. 

My third frame I chose show our main character props and outfit. As you can see we have chosen a very urban look for our main character and she is dressed in ripped jeans and a baggy hoodie we chose the outfit because we thought that its the costume appropriate for her situation because she has had a hard time and has just escaped a mental institute which is where our prop of the hospital tag later comes in to clarify that she is crazy.

The fourth frame I chose is to show our camera work and I chose this shot because it is a great shot because it focuses on the knees and scratches which allows the audience to know that she has gone through dangerous situations, it also it focuses on the front of the playground but it blurs out the scenario in the background this is good effect because it creates the feeling towards the audience that she in mentally unstable. 

The fifth frame I chose is of the first shot where you see the main character face and her emotions it introduces for the first time and you can see that she is just standing and looking at the house with remorse and that when the flashback happens. This shot also introduces our main character as a person who has had a lot to deal with in the past that just by looking at something like a house can remind her of her story.

The sixth frame I have chosen is of a transaction and its show our special effects and editing skills. We purposely made the transaction in this specific place because it is where our main character is climbing down the slide but then it transcends to her point of view and you can tell that she isn't seeing the world in a humane way.

Frame number seven is to show the story and how the opening sets it up. I have chosen this frame because it is a the start if the flashback which is what tells part of thew characters story and sets out the rest of the film as in there might be more flashbacks through the rest of the film.

The last frame I have chosen shows the genre of our task and is of the main character dead in the shower wearing a hospital gown, when we show this scene there is also a loud bang and that helps release all the suspense that was building up to that point. This shower scene is the main part of the opening that tells the audience that they are about to be watching a horror film.
