Question 1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

  1. You make strong and clear links between your thriller and other thrillers, Megan, using screenshots and video clips well. This is a well-structured and focused piece.
    - For your section on editing - can you use these words? post-production; fragmented; disconnected; disjointed; unsettling. I also think you could reference the additive dissolves you use at the end of the sequence and how this creates an unsettling effect after the murder.
    - Claustrophobia: Wy do you think thrillers use unwanted, claustrophobic spaces? We know how this provided a metaphor in The Third Man (the evil that lies underneath Europe). Can you discuss how it's used in LA Noire (remember the level we played in class that uses back alleys? Also, search for the last level of LA Noire on Youtube and look at how it uses the sewer). What meanings are you creating through these locations?
