2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge
informs and conventions of real media products?
From watching various opening sequences of heist
movies I concluded that most start of dark and
sinister e.g oceans 11, Inside man and The usual
suspects with either the protagonist talking or a
main character but some do start light and
establish where the film will be set i.e Tower
Heist and Italian Job. I also concluded usually mid
shot or close ups are used to establish the
protagonist. Lastly most opening sequences
mention the heist in some sort of way e.g recall
of the robbery, planning or what causes the heist.
3. Therefore I would say our opening sequence
develops forms and convention of real media
products. Our opening sequence doesn’t start
of dark it introduces the protagonist of the
movie also there are three scenes in our
opening sequence instead of the preferred
one. However our opening sequence does
include the favour table close ups and mid
shots.
