In what ways does your media product use, devlop or challenge form and conventions of real media products.

By looking at all of our previous research into all kinds of psychological thriller type films in earlier posts of our blogs it clear to see that we have been inspired greatly by other media texts. We have not 'stolen' any ideas as per say as our idea for our trailer came early on before even finding out about the film 'Single White Female' it was simply coincedence that they were similar shots of the stealing identity of Summer by Charlotte. This shot of Charlotte looking in the mirror with a red wig on was inspired by the film (not copied it is just coincedence that they have the same shade of hair colour)









Another film we were inspired by with a a similar storyline is a modern take on Single White Female is the film coming out in February 2011 The Roomate. The girl that is being obsessed over is a kind, pretty and sweet teenager similar to Summer. This is where her inspiration came from. Some of our camera shots are similar to ones in this as we loved the creepiness of them as they're portrayed such as the quick close ups in the montage.


The famous film Fatal Attraction starring Glenn Close and Micheal Douglas was one of the reasons the idea for using the similar storyline. We both watched the trailer and loved it so much that we had to watch the film and obviously loved it. We not only loved the storyline but the types of shots in this film. They have a fair few low angle shots however we were not in a position to include these but would've liked to. Fatal attraction's progression throughout the trailer was very appealing to us so we decided to go down a similar path on this note.


Obsessed, another more modern take on Fatal Attraction is yet another film we analysed from the trailer in a previous blog
