This is a sequence of 9 shots from our thriller opening. I feel that our film uses conventions from media products as like 'zombie land' the titles are very bold and correspond accordingly with the film.
In zombie land the titles are red which is a colour of which is assoiciated with danger, anger and bloodshed. From the still images above the audience can instantly sense that these components are essential factors within the film.
Similarly the titles in Hollow pond are very bold and correspond accordingly with the genre of the film. The titles have a very child like effect and thus relate to the main feature of our film which is our child actress 'Kyla'. The titles are also blue which I feel creates quite a sinister, chilling and unerving effect.
Hollow Pond challenges forms and conventions of real media products as children are often portrayed as innocent characters in the media. Its is extremely rare to see children potrayed as sociopaths which is why we opted to go for the opposite of this embeded stereotype. However whilst it is rare to have children potrayed as sociopaths it is not unheard of an instance where this has occured would be the case of 'Joshua'. Which is a film where in which a young troubled boy performs grusome unjustified acts which are very unerving in many ways.
Our film also reflects other films that use desserted woods as a location as a means of establishing a chilling and suspenseful effect. Such films would include
'The blair witch project' which uses the woods as a means of trying to capture supernatural figures on camera, however an unexpected twist occured which took a sinster twist on their lives.
