My media products uses typical conventions of real products in that it has some of the character stereotypes featured in most horror/slasher films (Final Girl & Scream Queen as well as her 'Jock' boyfriend). Additionally the scream queen is killed right at the beginning leaving just the final girl which is a structure used in numerous films of this genre.Originally i was going to challenge the forms and conventions of real media products by casting a brunette as the scream queen, however my actress wasn't able to film.
Recently numerous film companies have been using this countertype for example;
Liv Tyler in The Strangers, Bryan Bertino (2008)
Kate Beckinsale in Vacancy, Nimród Antal (2007)
Odette Yustman in The Unborn, David S. Goyer (2009)
I have also used and developed the conventions by taking influence from films like Halloween and The Shining which both featured the murder taking place at the victims home. I was heavily influenced by both Halloween and all the films featuring Chucky.
