Question 1 How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This is a two part question: 1st – Your film is a certain genre (we’ve established that already) – how does it fit the typical standards (conventions) for that genre? – Look at your research for this. 2nd - How does your film represent social groups or issues (race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, mental illness, kidnapping, love, death, etc…)?

The genre of my movie is thriller/mystery The genre of my movie is thriller/mystery. I challenged the convention of normal thrillers and mystery movies with the following: The murderer in my movie is wearing a white cloth while in other movies murderers usually wear a black coat. Murders usually use a weapon that they bring with them but in this movie, the murder uses something from the house. Sometimes the audience knows who the killer is in the beginning of the film, with my film, they do not.
