Evaluation - Question 1

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

We followed the conventions of a narrative opening. However we did challenge some parts and developed the titles to make ours original.

First thing that nearly all films consist of is the ident of their production company at the start of their movies, in ours we have our independent company "CANDI FILMS" whereas the film in going to compare to "Panic Room" also follows this rule. The production company are the people who helped the makers produced the film such as providing equipment’s. The distributor can follow right after this.









With our titles, it is similar to "Panic Room", we have the titles on background of a shot, and both of us tilted the font to align them to a certain structure. In our case, is at top of a shelf, and on theirs is a along the side of a building.


However we used social media sites logo to represent certain letters in the text such as "b" for Bebo and etc. This shows some originality that is uncommon in titles of a film. This all falls back to our main theme: Social networking.

On the other hand, with the film name title, we challenged the convection of putting our title 'ANOYMOUS ATTRACTION' at the end instead of inputting it in the middle of the titles like "PANIC ROOM". We use to try gain the audience attention within few minutes so they don't get put off within those minutes. This also keeps the movie a mystery, creating the viewer to be excited for the rest of the film.

Our titles are a clear font and are the colour white which contrasts with the blurred background, making them viewable to the audience. Where as "PANIC ROOM" used a similar colour as the sky in their opening as shown on the following image.
