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

Throughout this teaser trailer, I do not stray from the forms and conventions of an action genre or a teaser trailer. Names of the characters in my film are never revealed and it is just left as '2 men" which keeps the audience guessing as to who they are, which is the whole point of a teaser trailer, to 'tease' the audience to get them more intrigued. I have you a stereotypical Caucasian male, young to play the role of my main actor and fairly well built implying he is strong and powerful which is what men in most action films are nowadays, for example Greenzone, Matt Damon is young and Casino Royale, Daniel Craig is young but has a muscular build. The other actor used at the beginning is also following the conventions of an action film, we get a sense that he is the 'boss man' and stereotypically, they are either bald or have a skinhead, and have a large figure, they are at the top and no one gives them orders. Everyone answers to him. Where is do challenge the conventions of a real media product in this particular genre is the setting. Generally, it would be at an army base, with loads of other soldiers, located in a desert or fancy hotel, or somewhere in Asia where terrorism is associated. But in mine, one scene is in the snow and another in the woods, not exactly the most exciting places, and there are no helicopters, big guns, cars, it is a simple, one man job with no gadgets. Lastly, I feel i have developed some conventions slightly by constantly changing the audiences opinions on characters and the movie as a whole, generally a teaser trailer would show the character winning throughout, defeating everyone that gets in his way and not once letting the audience doubt their superiority. I do this twice in my trailer, the first being when the title '2 rules' is revealed. The audience feels that he has some morals and has some rules to follows, limitations to his job. But this idea is quickly shot out the sky when we find out their two rules are to kill and survive. The second time is at the end where we assume he has been shot down on a mission, he is lying on the floor struggling and a title comes up saying 'some you lose'. This once again is proven to be wrong as soon after he is seen alive, with an angered face and the heartbeat starting back up again.
