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


1. This is our first of the film. it is a pan shot of a security sign. This fits in will with our genre as it suggests that the premise is under watch because it is extremely dangerous. This also fits in with our film title of 'The Escaped' as it also suggests that CCTV is needed to make the enviroment more secure and safe. This brings a lot of suspense and makes the viewer continue to watch to find out why the destination is under such high security

2. This shot helps that audience to have an initial understanding of what the movie is about and how the 'sicotic' girl escaped the mental institution. the destination we filmed in isn't a typical setting for a horror film, we believe this can have an impact and somehow make the film slightly more scary.  

3.This is one of the only shots we have used dialogue in. The nurse uses the phone to make an important call, warning staff that Catherine has escaped. she makes this call from her office, this is made relevant due to the props we have used, a computer and paperwork/files. the phone can be seen as safe prop as it it commonly used to call for help

 4. This shot gives some background to Catherine. This scene shows the file of Catherine explaining why she was admitted and her state mind being labelled 'Highly Dangerous'. In this shot we have used a lot of different shot types mainly extreme close ups. we have filmed the file in a way that makes the audience feel like they are reading the file. We also zoom into words highly dangerous, this creates a tense feeling making the viewer feel scared and worried about what will happen next.

5. This shot is where we introduce the film title. This scene has a lot happening in it including the chase where the nurse is searching for Catherine, as the nurse walks away, only the audience can see Catherine appear just as the title begin to fade away. we overlayed the shots to make he long scene seem more interesting and worth watching. we chose a simplistic and sans-serif font to make the film a more modern style of horror.

6. In this shot we edited a still of Catherine that shows her possessed by some kind of demon. This shows a great understanding towards the audience about who Catherine is and why people should fear of her. It creates a more scary vibe to the film. this shot relates back to scene four. 

7. This shot shows the typical location of a horror film, being a woods. We placed the camera in different positions to create a more life like feeling. This also creates a sense of fear. the still we have chosen is an over the shoulder shot just before something bad is about to happen. in editing we used garage band to make suspense track to put over the film. This makes the nurse seem vulnerable meaning anything can happen.

8. This is one of the most crucial part of the film as it is when the nurse is strangled to death by Catherine. This has shown an outcome of the great suspense that has been built up. it also introduces Catherine as a murdering and explains why she is 'Highly Dangerous'.

9. In this last shot of the movie we see Catherine leaving the crime scene just as she hears the police sirens become louder. This creates tension and make the viewer want to know if she will get caught and what will happen next. This is what we were aiming for as a cliffhanger is one of the best ways to end a horror film.
