How did i challenge the forms and conventions

I researched into the same types of film that I would be producing. What conventions and forms they commonly use. What types of music they used, what types of framing, different colours and styles etc. we wanted to stick to what the audience seem to like from a horror thriller. We wanted to keep its fast pace, on the edge viewing. By sticking to the overall conventions of the typical type of horror thriller we would appeal to the common audience. Yet none the less we wanted to make a completely different style to out film. Using a jumpy story line and disconcerting filming. By using common genre types yet changing the things that are flexible we achieved our goals. There was nothing we thought we had to cut, we wanted to keep the frame how it was when filiming. We let the camera pick up the light from what we exactly filmed. By not changing the lighting or sounds we used and kept what the camera picked up when filming. by keeping this it gave the film its sense of realism and not such a false setting. By using the real light of when we filmed it gives the audience the sense that this is possible and has that affect that draws the audiences in. after completing our preliminary task I could then see where possible improvements could be made. When carrying out our preliminary task we made a few mistakes along the way, we did not use a wider range of camera angles and used very basic shots. Therefore when starting our main task we took this into account and made sure we had a wide range of shots that would make the sequence look as professional and slick ad possible. Also in our preliminary task we also saw that our editing could be more precise and slicker. So when editing our main sequence we made sure when we edited the change in scenes it was quick and as less jumpy as possible. By doing a preliminary task we learned from our mistakes and looked at how we could improve, therefore when carrying out our main task we used this knowledge to make the best possible sequence we could.
