Question 1; In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I have created my teaser trailer ‘The Host’ which is psychological horror (sub genre) based on the forms and conventions of existing media products. Before producing my film trailer I researched and studied a variety of trailers in different genres (Analysis of trailers) (Trailers I have looked at). I then decided to look into specific conventions of the psychological horror genre conventions and then stated the familiar conventions.  (Conventions of psychological horror film trailers) ( Conventions of the horror genre in general) I then finally decided to look at the history of film trailers to add a bit of depth to my research.



For question 2, I have provided goanimate videos to discuss the codes and conventions I have found for my ancillary products.
