1. Question 1
Evaluation: Question 1. In what ways
does your media products use, develop
and challenge forms and conventions of
real media products.

2. I have used back streets for my filming to give my
trailer a street feel to it. By keeping it in the back
allies and on the streets gives it a shifty feel to it.
It has high action areas in it and is always being
taken place in the streets.
The idea of shifty is two lads who get
involved in drugs and try and get out
but they are in to deep to try and get
out of. This is a story line that me and
wes like the sound of because it is
something different to what everyone
else was doing with their work. It was
a new idea and we thought it would
work.

3. The over the shoulder hand held cameras was something we wanted to incorporate into
our work because this almost defines social realist, having it up close and personal with
wobbly camera work makes a social crime film. We wanted to have as many of the shots
we could with a hand held camera to give it a real effect.

4. There is a section in the later part of the trailer where me and
Wes walk around a corner in slow motion, which is something
that you don’t normally see in social realist films because it is
seen as a stylistic transition. We thought that we would try
this because along side the music it suited a slow motion walk
because the bass drops and the whole track slows down. It
was something that we thought we would try it and it
worked.

5. The age of the actors is something we have challenged, I have gone for a younger actors
because I want it to try and meet the niche market that is young crime films. I think this is a
market that could be explored more which is why me and Wes experimented with it. Also it was
the only age group that was available at the time of filming the work, so it worked out well for
me.
