1. INWHATWAYS DOES MY
MEDIA PRODUCT USE,
DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE
FORMS AND CONVENTIONS
OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?

2. Looking at my equilibrium to my sequence I
noticed specific conventions. Which
normally in other opening sequences the
protagonist is introduced more or less
straight away, but usually only briefly, as the
opening sequence also include things such as
the location.

3. The genre of the film should also be portrayed in
the opening sequence through certain factors.
Throughout my opening sequence I tried to hint
at a back story, as I showed an old photo album
with two parents and a child on the photos.
Doing this also hinted that the narrative would
be about a family.

4. During the rest of the opening sequence I
also show eerie shots which represents the
mood which the audience may feel.The
colours I use through the whole of the
sequence were black and white, and the title
of the film in red, and the other titles
showing who was in the film etc. were in
black. Black, white and red is used in many
other horror films.

5. For the sound I use sound effects and music
to make it look creepy. And at the end I do a
voice over where I sound shocked and
scared. Doing this sets a mood/tone for the
entire film which emphasises the genre and
theme of the film.
