EVALUATION-Q1:In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media product?

Whilst planning and designing the ideas for our storyboard after coming up with the idea of the plot of our film, we looked at the idea of Memento, which, manipulates time in a unique way to draw effect and attention from the audience.. We as a group liked the idea of manipulating time, although we didn't set to copy Mementos rewind effect, we came upon the idea of using Flashbacks to tell our story.

Memento is a psychological thriller, which surrounds the memory loss of the main character, our film is also a psychological/crime thriller. as well as being a film on domestic violence, it also focus on the main characters mental ability and how she continues to murder those she feels are to close to the truth.

Also the phone call and the police report which I am really proud of was an idea taken from 'The Amitiville Horror' which despite being a Horror and not a Thriller, I felt it was important to take aspect of Horror which is also good at grabbing the attention of the audience very quickly, and the phone conversation and police report we implemented is the only aspect taken from 'The Amitiville Horror' so our film doesn't have any horror aspects to it, which we tried to avoid and I believe done successfully.

The storyline of our film is based on domestic violence which is similar to 'The Rich Man's Wife' film, starring Halle Berry, which involves a husband being murdered because of the wife after serious violence. Bellow is a link to see a preview of the film
