EVALUATION Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products




Image 1 above is "Candi Studios." This is our college name which we used to represent our studio from which the film was created. The sound effects were sharp and dramatic which represented the suspense side to the film. The colours used represented the evil/romantic side to the film. The red represented the bloody side and also the romantic side. The black background not only made the title stand out more but also created a sense of suspense. This is a normal code for a film which we followed.

Image 2 above is our title "unexpected." The colours red and black represented the bloddy, romantic and scary side to the film. The font was formal, old fashion like and the effects used were professional and created suspense.


Image 3 above is a shot showing the production manager. Here the font was kept formal and the colour used was red. The mise en scene was the table cloth and candles which showed a romantic side. The shot focuses on the boy and girl holding hands with the title running smoothly on the bottom right hand corner which is professional and created suspense. This also sets the tone for the rest of the movie. Getting to know the characters and a little information on what the film is about would be one of the codes and conventions for the beginning part of a film.

Image 4 above shows the producers. The title scrolls out slowly. This intensify the scene because the girl is giving a scary stare into the mirror. This develops the forms of real media because in other film sequences you see the same time of title sequence. The font and colour intensify the scene also and makes it look scarier.

Image 5 above shows the director title. The font and colour is kept the same throughout the title sequence firstly because we felt that this was the most intense style and effect we could have and we wanted to keep the suspense going throughout and also by keeping it the same it kept it professional. This challenges the codes and conventions of most movies because it jumps straight into a very intense scene. Most of the time you would see a title sequence of calm and slow shots whereas we put an intense scene so close to the beginning during the title sequence.
