EVALUATION - Q1 CONVENTIONS

1)How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

Our film opening challenged the convention of thriller opening as we didn't really show a specific threat that causes the disequilibrium, in another word it isn't clear that an enigma is created. However, our film is more like an introduction of introducing the character and setting the mood of psychological part of our opening, the idea of having imaginary friend.

As a psychological thriller, the conventions are mostly patient with mental disorder, people who are put into a large amount of pressure or who didn't know how to interact with the outside world. To create the convention, our story line illustrates a boy being isolated from the society. Which after being isolated for such a long time, he crave for human interaction and with the loneliness he went through he had develop the idea of having someone to play with. However, whether the imaginary friend is a threat or not isn't really showed in our opening. 

The character we created, he did fit into the convention of weak vulnerable victim. As him being a child and is living all by him self in an abandonded place. However, because the threat wasn't really shown making it hard to convey the idea of our character being vulnerable.
