Evaluation Question Tasks:

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


We used conventional film titles for our sequence to ensure the audience is fully aware that this is a title sequence. We tried to avoid subverting convention so the audience were more focused on the event rather than the titles themselves.






We used the titles because the framework of expectations is built up by them.



By letting him die in the first two minutes, we challenged the usual audience expectation that the first person we see in the sequence is the main character of the film.










The opening sequence represents a restricted narrative, which means a narrative in which the audience learn what is happening at the same time as the characters.
The paper being thrown off the roof signifies an Enigma code, which is a plot device used to keep mystery in the narrative and draw the audience into the story.

Although we used conventional film titles, the product itself challenges the audience expectations by giving very little information away and killing off what appears to be the main character in the opening sequence.
