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

The titles of the teaser trailer is used in a common conventional manner as most other teaser trailers. the titles are at the start and the beginning of the teaser trailer and the end. this does not disrupted the flow of the teaser and allows the script to explain rather than putting in title to explain it.

The settings/locations of the teaser trailer are conventional of the genre of gangster horror, however the final scene is in a dentist surgery which for a location is quite unusal for a gangster horror genre but still works quite well in the teaser trailer.

The costumes and props also follow the conventional gangster and horror genre's with the gangsters wearing suits and holding weaponds in the first scenes. However in the middle section with the scripted part the characters are wearing normal cloths which challenges the conventional costumes of the gangster genre. I did this as they were in a homely setting and wanted the costumes to match that. In the final scenes the use of the needle goes against conventional weaponds the killers would use. however the saw movies also goes against the conventional weaponds used which i got my idea from.

The camera work is quite similar to most teaser trailers with short shots and giving away little in the scenes filmed. The editing however is less conventional to the normal teaser trailers out at the moment with none using the old style filming and black and white effects which gave the teaser trailer a different look than other teaser. The lack of a soundtrack also goes against the conventional teaser trailer but gives the teaser more suspense like it does in the coen brother film "No Country For Old Men" which uses no soundtrack in the film for suspense.

The teaser sets up the storyline by firstly giving a back story with the flashback scene and the scripted part giving away what the plot might be like. However the it still holds back on alot fo the story which doesnt spoil the film and means the audience will want to go see it without knowing the entire storyline already.

The genre is suggest by the costumes of the charcters as a gangster genre , with the suits and the weaponds. however in other parts of the teaser it doesnt give away the genre as much by costumes. The killer character also gives away the genre of horror as most horror films have a killer.
