In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
In the gymnastics-base American TV Program "Make it or Break it" some elements in the sequences of the shots influenced and showed us ideas of some of the shots and elements which would look good for our thriller:
An example of this would be in "Make it or Break it" you will see a sequence called an "illusion" where the gymnast spins around using one of her legs. In our thriller the gymnast does the exact same move in slow motion which looks amazing on screen and we thought it would help to show off the extent of how talented our gymnast was.
Stick It:Although "Stick It" isn't a thriller there were lots of elements which this American movie had which helped us to gain a good idea of how to show our thriller the best way we possibly could. An idea which I really from our thriller was the slow-motion feature of the gymnasts hands rubbing together with the chalk. In "Stick It" there is a really good example which proved how good the shot will look:
As you can see we added the element of slow-motion which was not originally shown in the original cut from the film, but the final result resulted in an build up of tension and suspense in the actions. This also helps to strengthen the fact that it is a thriller genre and also gives a variety of shots due to the fact all the shots edited before were at normal pace really allowing the slow-motion shots to be emphasised in the moment:
Another idea from this film would be the camera angles used such as the birds-eye view which we also ended up using in our final thriller piece which is shown below from the film "Stick It"
We were thinking of maybe using the optical illusion shown as we thought the effects were very cool and looked amazing on screen but during the editing process, decided that it would not match our genre of thriller.
