Evaluation - Question 1.

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

My title sequence uses but also challenges forms and conventions of of real media products. My media title sequence is a classic thriller it has:

- A serial killer
- Many victims
- An abandoned location
- Blood splatter on the walls
- And eerie music

Most of these things are in many thrillers so my piece of work resembles many thrillers. We used many different title sequences to get ideas for our opening title sequence like a remake a student did for the film 'The Ring'. We got the idea for the models from 'CSI' (crime scene investigation) it is a series shown on channel five and living. Although it is a series and is not classed as a thriller some parts of this program can be similar to a thriller as in some episodes the CSI's can get kidnapped. At the time we were deciding which direction to go with there was a trailer out for the new film 'Quarantine' (2008). On part of the trailer there is a scene where a girl is dragged across the floor we all liked this scene so we decided to use it and that is how we came up with part of our opening title sequence (the trailer for this is on my blog). This is how it uses forms and conventions of real media products.

My blog also challenges the forms and conventions of real media products because it has:
- A women serial killer
- All female cast

We heard of a book called 'A dolls house' which is about feminism and that is why we decide to use an all female cast.
We discussed how our tile sequence would be exclusive and we decided that a female serial killer would make our work distinctive.
