Evaluation- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our trailer challenges these forms because it starts off in a state of disequilibrium because everything in the film is wrong, for example in our media product the world have trained zombies like pets. We haven’t used the same form of a trailer we have challenged it by using more of an infomercial approach by giving information about the film through the head teacher. The genre of the film is very rare when researching horror comedy films so we challenged real media forms by having zombies trained and kept as pets. We also challenged real media forms simply by adding comedy to a zombie horror film. By taming the zombies and taking them to school shows that we are challenging real media products as schools are supposed to be for children not zombies. We have also challenged the expectations of the film as people would think that they are going to watch a horror film because it contains blood thirsty zombies, but in fact in the film the zombies are trained which adds humour to the trailer. We used the Shaun of the Dead trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfDUv3ZjH2k) as an example because that is a zomcom and that shows a zombie outbreak but we challenge that as we are taming the zombies and using them as pets.
