In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
When creating our opening sequence we tried to use typical structural conventions of opening sequences such as credits, clear fonts, a variety of editing techniques and different camera angles. Though not always done in opening sequences, after looking at films similar to ours we decided to create a basis for the film to begin, so a short lead up to the story itself.
In our opening sequence we tried to develop from the usual conventions of opening sequences, for example we looked at the opening sequence for the Hangover and realized it was very simplistic in terms of editing, using mostly shot reverse shot. So when making our film we looked at using more techniques such as jump cuts, slow motion and match on action.
Overall I wouldn't say we particularly challenged the conventions of an opening sequence, more used them to our advantage to make an appealing and interesting sequence that would help to lead up to the film itself and set the story.
