Task 1: in what way does your media product use, develop or challange forms and conventions of real media products?

When inserting the titles to our sequence we had to look at many forms of opening sequence to see what order to put the names in and also to see how we could challenge or uphold these conventions.




This is our first title. It is of the distributor, this conforms with existing title sequences because we placed them first. They are responsible for funding the film so have invested the most money into it the making of it.





Our second shot conforms as it shows the production company who are responsible for the porduction and post production of the film. They are second in terms of importance therefore they come after the distributor. We came up with the name 'Brickwall Production', this idea came to be after we decided to use brick wall set.




Thirdly we placed the title of 'A Marley Gordon Jones Film'. We challange existing sequences here as Marley is not the director of our film. He would have helped throughout the film and also funded alot of it. This may have been a partnership between the director and Gordon-Jones which could have come to be from a lack of funds.

After this we get the principal cast members. Commonly the large well known names appear first. As both of our cast members are unknown we placed Zoe first as she is the more prominant cast member in the film. This challanges most film's as normally the male name would come first.

We now come to the creative element of the film production. Firstly we listed the director of photography, this person is responsible for planning the film shots and angles for the feature film.




Then we listed the editor. He is responsible for cutting together the final cut of the film. Commonly there will be a team of editors, conforming to current productions we placed the head of the team in the title sequence.




We then added the name of the producer. He comes just before the director as he helped make the film, he would have invested money into the film and also been around during the making of it to see how it was turning out. He would have a say in the final cut.





Our director comes just before the name of the movie. This is because he was the person most involved creatively in the film and is the person with the main vision. He would have said how he wanted the film to turn out. He would have directed the actors into what they should be doing, and also the camera angles to get an idea of what the final cut will look like.





Finally we placed the title of our movie. This comes last as it concludes the title sequence. It also attracts the attention of the audience and shows them that the movie is about to begin. By conforming to exsiting films we placed the films name in capitals and make it much bigger than the rest of the credits. This will make a much larger impact upon the audience. By only having one word, the title is more catchy and this will help with advertising the film.



This is our second most important cast member. Commonly, the rest of the principal cast are listed from now, eispecially the well known names.
