Evaluation - Question 1

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

In our opening we made sure that we followed the conventions of an opening. We didn’t challenge or change the order as we thought it would be best to keep it simple and not over step it and make it complicated for ourselves.

- Production company ident

- Distribution company ident

- Music associated with those idents

- List of credits - directors, actors, casting etc..

- Title of film

- Find out where its set (location)

- Introduce main characters

- Find out hints about the storyline/situation/narrative

- Sets the mood and tone and outs into place the genre

We didn't challenge the convention of title sequences, down below are some pictures that I have put together with Our film on top of screen grabs of the film 'The Roomate'.. As you can see we followed the title sequence exactly and we even had similar font -it being simple white font, mostly coming up in the corners.
