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

In this question I will comment on how my film uses media products through the use of conventions and other real media products. Throughout my film i used a lot of conventions and media products to produce a good media product. I tried to keep my film as simple and as thriller-like as possible, giving it the convention of the dark old effect of black and white and also the non-linear effect of seeing the ending before the beginning. In our film we have a thriller like flashback where you see the outcome of the plot leaving the viewer confused of what is happening and then it has the flashback, in our case '24 Hours before' and then the beginning is revealed for the audience to unravell. We tried to keep our titles quite simple as well as the title itself, making it a neutral blue colour and keep the style throughout the whole title sequence. The music was quite an important convention in our film as we had to make the music realistic and match what is happening. We searched music and sounds to do withs suspense, tension, violenceand thriller and tried finding out the best type to fit our film. They had to be upbeat, quick and create tension which they did.
