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

This is our first shot of our sequence and is there to establish the location that we start in and also to tell the audience that our character is alone making it more believable for her to be kidnapped by our unlicensed taxi driver. This therefore upholds the conventions of film sequence.

Here is a shot of our black cab pulling off as it is taken this is meant to represent that she is being left behind outside the cab and opens up a hole in our story to allow our unlicensed cab to pull into position and begin the real story, this conforms to the conventions of a film sequence as this is where she starts her journey on being alone and this is important to our storyline. 

Here is our unlicensed taxi picking up our teen and even though there are people here that have nothing to do with our story which sort of tells our audience that she is not alone which in other scenes could make our story unbelievable but the fact that she isn't in the cab yet it is ok and doesn't look to bad. This scene I believe again upholds the conventions of a media sequence.

Here is a shot of our drivers eyes in the rear view mirror and working together with the image below we have created a really creepy and weird sequence as he is looking our character up and down as she sleeps this conforms to the conventions of a thriller sequence.

Our second rear view mirror shot here we see our teen in the back of the car sleeping and when this is cross faded with the other mirror shot it really helps to tell us what kind of a man our driver really is and we start to get a sense of what is about to happen. I think this conforms to the conventions of the thriller genre.

Here our character is now awake again and starts to question where she is and this is when the non-diagetic music starts and we know that the scene is about to pic up, this conforms to the conventions of a sequence of its type.

Here is a close up of our teen on the back seat of the unlicensed cab becoming agitated and worried about where she is, this is a prime example of a shot that builds tension in a scene and for that reason I think it conforms to the conventions of a thriller sequence.

Here is where our story really kicks off this is where our driver shows the teen that he has stolen her ID over a week prior to this event, this clearly scares our character and in the next image you see that she is trying to escape from the car, this screen grab definitely conforms to the conventions of a thriller sequence and creates tension and fright.

Here is our character trying to escape from the car this is a screen grab that definitely upholds the conventions of the thriller genre as she is trapped and really wants to get out.
