Q1: In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use Develop Or Challenge Forms And Conventions Of Media Products?







This was our main focus and inspiration for our trailer. Catfish the movie has a great back story that is not uplifting which breaks the stereotypes of most modern day films, and personally I loved this aspect of the film. I have used a couple of aspects of catfish in the way that i use social networking and a girl 'Catfishing'/tricking me. 


In the film 'The Hangover' i have used the scene of them preparing to go out and then the scene afterwards of waking up in the bedroom hungover and confused about what happened the night before. This adds an element of mystery and confuses the audience, i can say this from first hand experience. The only problem we had was that we did not have sufficient funds to rent a tiger and use costume/ make-up to our advantage. Therefore we could not give this scene justice as we would of like to have done.
