In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? By Rebecca Wilson
Conventions Our two main focuses for our title sequence were to establish the genre for our audience and to keep continuity throughout.  Titles were created and fitted to the sequence to fit the conventions of the opening to a film which appear over the clips in a significant order, used by the majority of films: production company, film title, actors, editors, directors.
Conventions Most title sequences have a voiceover or music. We have chosen the song “Higher and Higher” by Jackie Wilson. This has been added in after editing, making it non diegetic, although the protagonist is dancing to her own song.
Form To represent the romantic side to the genre, the protagonist falls into the arms of a boy and they gaze into each others eyes.  Special effects in iMovie to slow down the clip made the genre more apparent and the meeting more significant to the rest of the film.
Form The lyrics in our soundtrack fit in with the romance and the name of the title "Lucky in Love". The ‘rom-com’ genre should make the audience feel good therefore must evoke happiness. The lyrics say: Your  love , is  lifting  me higher, Than I’ve ever been lifted before, So keep it  up , quench my desire, And I’ll be at your side  forever  more, You know your  love , keeps on  lifting  me, Higher. Higher and higher.
Form The comical elements of the genre were displayed through the acting. The protagonist endures slapstick, like walking into a lamppost, stumbling in high heels and elaborate dancing.
