Evaluation

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


Our film challenges the the convention of the film industry, more specifically the action genre. We challenge the idea that men are the saviors and that women are only the damsel in distress type character. We do this by setting up Stella's character as being able to fight one man and knock him down. Not only is she seen to be able to fight the opposite sex but crucially she doesn't need a man to come and save her. Other films that have done this in the real film industry have been characters like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
However we use the convention of action films in that we use a getaway car, in real action films there is often fast sports cars or chase scenes. Since this wasn't available to us we had to just use a standard car as a getaway. This picture is an examply of a getaway car from Dead Man Running which is in the same sort of action/crime bracket that our film is in.
