AS Production - Opening 2mins of a Psychological Thriller.

At the beginning of the films all movies use some type of music, which either puts audience in a relax mood or excited mood.5/ 6= films Majority of films use adults as protagonists e.g. a beautiful mind, only 1/6 use young characters as protagonists,”the sixth sense”.Some of films show relationship between families.

Used sinister music at the beginning of movie, to create sinister effect.

Developed this convention, we used a young character as a protagonist but an adult is the antagonist.Used this convention, by using a weak relationshipbetween the protagonist and her mum.

Edited using Imovie, to add the sinister music.

2/4, of music videos contain a narrative relating to the relationship between a boy and a girl.3/4Music videos hold a band scene or instruments.

3/4Costume's the band wears in nearly all videos are plain, casual, but in one video the costume's quirky, as they're wearing old fashioned clothes.

3/4The locations are majority of the time urban and the band scene location is often different from the narrative. A few have indoor band performance.

Used this convention, we portrait a relationship between a boy and a girl.

Used this convention by using band scene during chorus, and using close up shots on instruments.

We used this convention as all band members are wearing casual clothes. But also developed it as one band member's wearing a pink wig, which adds to indie bands having their own style, and makes it more quirky.

Added the song after filming, by using Final Cut Pro. Used effects on final cut pro on different parts of the song, such as during the close up on instruments.
