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

2.  My film opening is similar to real film
openings as it falls under the common
genre of ‘crime thriller’. It also establishes
the film in the titles by showing the
distributor, production company and title of
the film.

3.  Furthermore it is similar to real film
openings as it follows the codes and
conventions of a real film opening by the
use of establishing shots to clarify
location, close ups to establish to main
characters and fast pace editing to build
tension throughout the two minute opening.

4.  To influence my film opening I watched film
openings in the same genre as mine. The main
films that were similar to mine were ‘déjà vu’ and
‘North by Northwest’.
 In ‘Déjà Vu’ the use of titles instantly identify the
film to the thriller genre through the use of the
typewritten font in the style of a police report.
 Therefore when we added titles to our film opening
we were sure to use a similar font to clearly
establish the film genre.
This is an
example the
Revolution Productions font we used for
our film opening
