Describe the ways in which your production work was informed by research into real media texts and how your ability to use such research for production developed over time.
We chose to do a two minute opening to a horror film, so firstly we decided to analyse popular mainstream horror films, from this we were able to take the horror film conventions and apply it to our film, we then had a discussion about the films and we felt we would not be able to achieve something of this level so we then decided to analyse low budget films such as the Blair Witch Project, we felt this would be more realistic for us to achieve. After analysing a wide variety of horror films we had a list of typical conventions for a horror which we would incorporate into our film.
At the beginning of the process we didn't really know what we were looking for, we would just have some basic ideas here and there, but as we moved further through we gained more skills and knowledge to be able to go into more detail of analysis when researching these different texts.
