In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
After finishing our final media thriller opening we compared and challenged the different forms and conventions of real media products.
After finishing our final media thriller opening we compared and challenged the different forms and conventions of real media products.
Firstly after studying the four different types of movie openings we were fairly pleased that what we decided before making the film stayed the same. Originally we wanted to do a traditional film opening which followed conventions such as title sequences in order and a main theme running through out.
Other Film openings are
- Discrete
- Stylized
- Credits rolling over a blank screen
a main character is introduced and this is a typical example of a traditional film openings as they do no hide the faces and the main characters are established.
This is when we first get the sense that the main character is demented. He is seen kissing a unconscious body and from then are viewers know that there is something hugely wrong with this character
All of this runs in perfect order and is a convention of a traditional film opening
Our film is inspired by The Step Father (2009) there are many similarities and some differences
They both try to show the normality in a normal situation and a normal day. For example in the step father the opening sequence starts with the main character which we included in our film too. In the Stepfather the main character is seen acting fairly normal towards his family and it is only in the end you see that he has changed and get the essence for the rest of the film.
other things we borrowed from the film The StepFather was the use of montages to create tension amongst the viewers. Differences between our film and the Stepfather is that they use a stylized editing whilst we opted to use a traditional movie sequence. in the stepfather they focus more on the normality and only show his demented side in the last few seconds
