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

Our product is similar to many of the conventions used in other professional media products, for example the titling. In the opening scene of 'Six Feet Under' the titles used are very simple but well positioned.


In our opening scene we decided that we would use the titles necessary to introduce our film, but not go over the top, and attempt to make them fit in with the environment of the scene, this way the titles would not detract from our piece, much like in 'Six Feet Under'













This shot help introduce the character to the audience, it suggests to the audience that 'Ash' (The character featuring in this shot) is a mysterious individual, due to the unusual cloud formation behind him. It also suggests that he is isolated and has nobody to turn to, since he is on his own walking down a road in a desolate area.


In our opening scene it is not entirely clear of who is the 'Protagonist' or 'Antagonist'. In our opening scene we firstly see an establishing shot of a character walking along a road. At this point we are unsure of who he is and whether he is the 'Good Guy' or the 'Bad Guy' of the film.  As the scene progresses it becomes apparent that the character is being chased, at this point we still do not know whether he is being chased by the 'Bad Guys' or the 'Good Guys' Later in the scene when we see 'Aaron' for the first time it then becomes a bit more obvious that 'Aaron' is the Antagonist, as he is wearing a chain, and is also a sleeveless top.
