Evaluation question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. film openings)

Screengrab 9 distinct frames from your opening sequence and post each of them to your blog. Under each one comment on how this fits in with the conventions of that genre, and what we would generally expect to see from the first 2 minutes of a film (i.e. credits). Refer to existing films that have inspired you by providing screengrabs of relevant clips or film posters.

Discuss the following:
Title of the film
Setting/ location
Costumes and props
Camerawork and editing
Title font and style
Story and how the opening sets it up
Genre and how the opening suggests it
How characters are introduced (representation)
Special effects.
