THE MAIN TASK

Our opening sequence;

costume

have a specific outfit shows the audience that the character is a district nurse who look profession. the work our fit makes it look as she is at work and it is an ordinary day which maeks it seem as if nothing out unusal shoudl happen

props

we used a car to show that the districte nurse was a professional that had to travel a far distance giving the sence that she is by her self and that she has no support. it also make the actor seem old enough to be a district nurse.

we used a candle to give an eerie effect. The glow in the basement make the audience know that there is something wrong. We like the shadow effect on the walls behind the actor that the candle light caused, it made the basement seem as if the evironment seems unnatural and as if there is something esle with her.

the folder give the actor a more professional look as it seems that there is lots she must know/ do. it also make her look as if it is just another ordinary day at work for her.

actors

we decised to use one actor in our opening sequence so the audeience could understand what is happening rather than going from one character to another. our actriss is danielle garden (me). she plays a district nurse visiting an elderly woman in her house.

this is a pic from the film. we decide to use me as the actor because my group decided that i was a good actor, and that i could express the correct emotion for the role. i need to be able to show the worry i had for Polly and how anxious the nurse was going into the dark basment.

location

After lots of decisions we decided use use Meg's house. this is because we decided that a normal house would build tension as they wouldn't expect anything unusual to happen, as well as this her house had a basement this mean we can use the stereotype of something bad always happening in the basement to use some of the idea typical of the horror genre.

Question 1

In what way does your media production use develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media productions?
I interpret this to mean; what differences are there between my production and one of a typical horror.

i think that the best way to anwer this question is with an interview this of the main actor (Danielle Garden), who plays margaret the district nurse.  this is because it wil give the adience an insight veiw of what the actor think of the film and how they felt when being apart of the production. an exemple of an interveiw with emma waston after she had been in the tale of Despereaux.

By having an interview it can help the audience and the interview see how the actor/actress really feels about the film not how she is meant to feel about it which they can hide when answering questions online, they can see if they are really excited or if they don't think it will be a great success by the body ques they give. it can also keep the actor in focus as they cant get distracted.

I think using an interview style technique to answer this question is good because you can see if the actor think that the convention they used was appropriate to the type of film they did, and if they would have do it slightly differently if they had known what they know about the production now.
