Question 1 Evaluation

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
To answer this question we must first have a look at the conventions of a film opening. Conventions of a film opening change dependant on the genre/sub-genre of the film. These are the general conventions of a film opening although not all films conform
-Production company logo
-Distribution company logo
-Title sequence
-Sound and or video to help entice the audience
-Key characters are introduced

As you can see in our film opening we do conform to these conventions. Although I do feel that the sound could of set the mood of the film a little better.






I have created two scrapbooks using beeclip in which I show the title sequence used by the thriller movie se7en and our own movie Imogen. I did this so that it would be alot easier to compare the two, as you can see our title sequences are very similar although there are some slight differences, but only slight. As well as this in our title sequence the titles are low down so that the audience does not get distracted from the video whilst in se7en we see that the titles are in the middle as the editor wants attention drawn to the titles. In our film opening we obey the conventions of title sequences within films.
