Evaluation Task One

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

- The first screen shot is how are film is introduced with the title screen. We chose to use this title screen over the other we had previously made beacause its more eye catching and keeps in touch with the openings genre. The text style and background looked very good because after the blood drops onto the floor, the title comes up and looks very effective.

- The second picture was very good at setting the next scene. It shows the next part of the film is set in the woods. It also shows that me and Kieran are very important to the film. Although our film takes place in different areas it was key to show when the scene changed. We did this very well though the editing and continuity.

- The next picture shows the costumes and props we used for the film opening. At all times we where wearing suits, which is the normal thing to wear in crime/gangster films. Also the briefcase is the main point of interest though out the film. We showed this very well because with most of the lighting in the film being dark it made the breifcase stand out, and showed the watches that it must be focused on.

- The next picture was part of our crash zoom used in the last scene. We had the idea of using a crash zoom very early and tried to incorperate it into our film. Many other crime films in media just used the idea of a tracking shot, however this made the scene go a lot quicker. It also put alot of emphasis on harrys character. We had the idea from previous crime films but we chose to develop it into a way which would be more effective and put alot of mystery behind harry's character.

-  The next picture shows the text style we chose for our names being put smoothly into our film. These parts are like most other typical crime films. They are slowly paces and easy to read, it also fits in with they begining. Whilst Mitch is getting ready the film is very slow paced which fits in well with the credits. This was used in many other crime films at the start of  a calm atmoshper, which is then later changed dromatically.

- The next shot of mitch is getting ready. This sets the scene at the begining of the film very well, it also introduces the first character very well. It is very common in most crime films for the setting of the scene to introduce one of the many main characters.

- The next shot shows harry preparing the baseball bat in a postions to strike. This is very common to most crime films becuase it has a sence of violence. It would also be very easy for the audience to establish what sort of genre it is. Its was very easy to relate it to other crime films becacuse all of them have a scence of viloence and fast paced action which is located at the end of our footage.
