This PowerPoint is the answer to my film evaluation question.

1. EVALUATION: QUESTION 1
In what ways does your media product use,
develop or challenge forms and conventions of
real media products?

2. •A couple, male
and female
•Intervention of a
third party
•The third party will
try to break them
up.
•Good old couple
going through a
phase.
Use Conventions
Our product have included some of
the conventions that often been used
in a romantic-comedy.
We adapted the idea of couple going
through a phase, like the film called
The Break-up.
In The Break-up opening
credits, it started with
pictures of their journey of
being a couple.
•Centred around
the female
character, film is
seen from her point
of view.
We adapt their idea by
showing the couple’s
feelings towards each other
by simply showing their
ordinary life to the
audiences. Thus showing
the hints of romantic
comedy to the audiences.
•‘meet cute’
scenario.
Our film

3. Develop Conventions
The introduction of
all the main
characters in the
opening is to give the
audiences some
hints about the
connection between
them.
The
story/background of
Alice will be included
as well because we
think is important to
inform the audience
that it’s not the same
story.
We developed it by
introducing the
characters right from
the start to tell their
story to the audiences.
However, it is not a
past or memory like
the rom-com does but
it’s present and Is set
in 2 different world.
Fantasy
with romcom.
We have also combined
a childhood story
character Alice from, Alice
in the Wonderland to the
rom-com that we are
filming.
That’s a development
from the normal typical
rom-com.

4. Challenge
Conventions
We decided to only put 3
credits in the middle of the
opening sequence rather in
right at the start where romcom often starts with a pan
shot. This is rather different in
rom-com films but it is
important to not distract the
audience from watching the
necessary scene,
We also challenge the most frequent
convention in a rom-com films and
that is voiceover. Almost all the romcom films have a voiceover to inform
the audiences their life or opinion.
But we decided not to have any
voiceover at all, as it will make the
opening looks rather cheap.
