1) In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms of conventions of real media products?



Our thriller title sequence is an opening to a movie, with the titles on top. I think that our titles were a little too large, however when editing and creating the titles, they weren't as large as when displayed on the cinema screen. I also think that if we had of taken more time to work on the titles, this would have improved our sequence, as in a way I think the titles ruined it, as they were somewhat too slow and were oddly placed, which was intentional.

In a title sequence, either; a discreet title sequence, an opening to a movie with titles on top and a title sequence where titles appear over a plain background, then the movie starts. I would expect the sequence to engage and intrest and even perhaps thrill the audience, making the title's engage with the audience's brain. I would expect that the shots should represent something to do with the film, if it is discreet title sequence or title sequence where titles appear over a plain background. I would also expect the sequence to set the mood of the film and to give stubble hints about the film to the audience.

I will compare the title sequence to 'Up in the Air' with my own sequence.

This title sequence, follows the convention is that title, credits and the institutional ident appears first, at the beginning of the film. Our film has not stuck to this convention in particular, it has started with a convention of institutional indent and credits first, then the title of the film at the end. Our title sequence also has a total of 12 credits instead of 9. Our sequence starts off with an establishing shot of Kings Place, to obviously estbalish the loaction, this is so the audience knows where the rest of the title sequence is about to happen, this creates suspense as no characters have been introduced. 'Up In the Air' is a title sequence where titles appear over a plain background, it starts off with a wide shot of the clouds, or seemingly 'Up In The Air' which matches the title of the movie, it then pans over across a city scape, and other parts of a country. Some are close ups and others long shots, however all are shot from 'Up In The Air' are shot from a birds point of view.
