Handing it in on time gave us more time to create our video and the tasks and planning made it easier

For our A2 project i will do more research and plan well to make it easier

Conventions of real media texts;

-Se7en

-Texas chainsaw massacre

-Use of stalker theme

Watching these films and other horrors contributed to the inspiration towards our video

For our A2 project i will analyse more texts to get more inspiration

Creativity;

Ideas for our portfolio were unique as during our research we didn't find many similar films, and our opening sequence was more suggestive of conventions rather than showing them, next year for A2 i will try to use more conventions but will use conventions from other genres as well.
