Evaluation; Q1 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real media product?

To gain knowledge and understanding the forms and conventions of an opening title sequence we were required to watch a number of thriller movies for example i watched:

I The Beginning i wanted to create a psychological thriller i felt "se7en" title sequence was powerful and even without knowledge of the film you can guess the type of genre it was going to be which is wht i wanted to do.

Also took a look at:


I felt these shot where amazing and you could really see the whole of the city which the film was filmed in. To demonstrate our knowledge of the forms and conventions, whilst planning our sequence, we made an effort to include as many as we could and as many would fit our title sequence to help illustrate what we wanted illustrate. We compared our title sequence to the opening title sequence of "The Heat" to highlight the conventions we used. Reason being is because the heat editing was what we tried to do quick cut to keep the audience interested and satisfied. I Compared parts of my sequence to my favourite scene in the heat movie has we used forms and conventions identical to The heat.

In the beginning of our we choose "candimedia" as our convention institutional ident because it cost cheap and we have a low budget therefore using this would be appropiate. We made our convetional idents show during the movie as other movies either fade them out or on a black screen for example, panic rooms has to human movement jus long shot oflocations showing us there titles which i felt looked good however would be more effective if they used our methods of combining acting and title together.

Our location also played a vital part in the opening of our title as sequence as we see an outside area then it shifts into a household. Sadly because of our low budget and not able to go in higher place we couldn't get good location shot like the panic room as the used ariel shot prbaly within a helicopter.

Lastly the use of sound was very effective,. Our soundtrack we created was fast and very hip hop as in the beginning we used hip pop beat to start of the movie it then slows down into a more eerie sound which was good for our thriller, i think this challenges alot of thriller that are a real media product as they don't usually combine eerie sounds with hip pop ub beat sounds which i think we did very well and was a success.
