QUESTION ONE.

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



There are eight different conventions that are generally used in an opening sequence. these are: and establishing shot, titles, mood and atmosphere, clues to the audience, equilibriem and disequilibriem, production and distributor logo and the soundtrack. These conventions are used to immideatly draw the veiwers attention to what is happening on the screen. They have done this so it will prompt the audience to ask questions and them trying to figure out what ig happening/going to happen in the film. A film in which some of these conventions are used is the last exorscism. They have set the mood by using eerie music at the start and giving the audience small clues to what could be going on.

In the opening sequence to my film called ' final warning' we have used a variety of conventions to draw the audience in and hook them at the very start of the film. To do this we have used the conventions of: soundtrack, disequilibriem, titles, atmosphere and giving the audience clues. We have used a creepy and uneasy soundtrack to put the audience on edge but draw them in to what is happening. 

we have also given the audience clues to what is happening by showing close ups of the dead body and some clues of how the person has ended up dead, we have also used a disequilibrium at the start of the sequence so that the opening sequence starts on a really negative note, it also makes the audience curious about what has happened and makes them want to watch on and find out how this person has died and why they have died.
