Evaluation Question 1: In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop Or Challenge Forms And Conventions Of Real Media Products?

As part of this question I have to look into how my created product relates to real media products. I have to consider the conventions of filmmaking for our short film, short film narrative theories and concepts, genre codes and conventions and also the style of the film. This is my response through YouTube by adding notes to my our short film about some of the techniques we used and why. During the short film, I tried to focus on and comment on why we used particular effects and shots, such as the quick-fire rapid shots with the clock face,  as well as focusing on the anti-narrative of our short film and why we structured it in that way in order to create meaning, which also related to the genre of our short film, taking in some inspirations form the genres we had researched.

I've annotated the different conventions I used as part of my double page spread in order to show how i related it to my real life example from Sight & Sound magazine. Using the various images, simplistic layout and colour scheme all makes the article very easy to read and look at which is what the real magazine tends to go for.

 

I've annotated the elements of my completed short film poster and explained the features to why they've been used and how they effectively they do their purpose. All of the elements come from the example of an art house and feature film poster that i'd initially researched.
