Q1- In what ways does your media product use, develop,or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
The main conventions of a film opening are music, title, establishing genre and editing. We followed these conventions.
Music is important in the opening of a film because it sets the mood and creates a certain atmosphere. For example the opening of a thriller film would not be the same as the music in the opening of a comedy film. The film 'se7en' opening music is tense and therefore establishes that its going to be a horror film.
Titles at the beginning of a film is important because it shows who has worked to create the film and the main characters names. The conventional order starts with the production company ident, distribution company,movie titles then cast name.
There was a lot of editing in our film, we were inspired by the the movie 'se7en' because they used lots of cuts of different movement/ action and it made it more exciting to watch rather than having a long narration.
To avoid confusion the opening should establish the genre. They can do this by showing the location and/or character. By doing this you get an idea of what genre it is. For example if the opening is dark and gloomy it would most probably be a horror film.
