Questions relating to evaluation- first ideas

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
At the moment, our media product both uses and challenges forms and conventions of real media products:
Sound: is fairly upbeat, however we may change the song to create more tension, in addition to this more diagetic sound is needed to build narrative.
Editing:Could be drastically improved, at the moment the quality is poor, when we are finished it will use the forms and conventions of a real thriller, as the pace will gradually build up- very slowly.
Camera: We have used and developed forms and conventions so far, this is because we begin, after the establishing shot with a close up of the protagonsists feet, then build up slowly until his identity is revealed.
Mise en Scene: Uses the forms and conventions as both the characters are dressed in dark colours- suits. Furthermore, the setting re-enforces the narrative- in a well-off high street, with props being typical of an action thriller eg. briefcase.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
Our media product, because of setting and character represents young seemingly wealthy males (agents). No particular social group is being re-presented.
