EVALUATION QUESTION 1

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

The genre that I chose to do was horror, so I had to make sure that the sound,  mise-en-scene and editing fitted this specific genre throughout the whole 2 minutes. In most horror films, the setting is always dark and either really small or really big. I decided to go for the small space to make it look more like the character was trapped. In my horror opening title sequence, the setting was based in a small, dark lit bedroom with one victim character and one attacker character. The music that horrors usually consist of are either creepy, tense music or loud, fast and includes bangs and cashing sound affects. The sound that i used was creepy background music that added tension and a sense of the unknown to the piece which played throughout the whole two minutes. i also added sound effects such as creaky door and heart beat to build the tension and to add interest to the piece. These are forms and conventions that you would usually see in a horror film that I have developed in my opening title sequence.
