The ways in which our media product uses, develope or challenge forms or conventions of real media products

1. Our film subverted the traditional norms of film making by not having a full screen and not showing both characters in focus, this reinforces the fact that the opening sequence was filmed on mobile phone which is not typical of hollywood films.

2. We then introduced another character again on mobile phone cameras this challenges the conventional forms of filmmaking that rarely use mobile phone footage to begin a film. This challenges the audience to follow different narrative strands at the same time in the same vein as Mike Figgis Timecode.

3. FilmFour is the name of our production company, the majority of all films have a production company in their title sequence therefore we conformed to the traditional title sequence.

4. In this sequence we introduced the name of our lead actor, this conforms to traditional forms of film making where the actors name is often found in the title sequence. However throughout our title sequence we subverted this however, by having four different screens in our title sequence thus making it difficult to identify who the actor was in the moment in time.

5. In this sequence we conformed to traditional forms of film making where the Director's name is shown in the title sequence. It is traditional to have the role of Director in small text with their name in larger text.

6. After a title sequence in a film that features split screens, the film would generally revertback to type and would concentrate on a full a screen shot however we have subverted this by continuing with a split screen, we did this to give the audience different angles of the action and reinforce that it is being taken by four mobile phones. The light hearted action that is taking place helps to build tension for the violence to follow, this is traditional of film making.

7. For this shot we introduced a fifth screen, this indicates to the audience that there is now a change in the action, this subverts Hollywood style of film making as at this point in the storyline it would revert back to one screen however we have challenged audience expectations and continued to use a split screen, giving the audience five angles of the action from the five different phones.

8. For the final scene of our opening sequence we chose to show the deaths of different characters, this subverts Hollywood as we have continued to show the dead bodies on screentime whereas in traditional forms of film making the deaths are either suggested or we do not continually see the body after the death. We continued to keep all five screens up and allow the audience to choose which narrative strand to follow.

9. Our product developed traditional forms of film making in our last shot by using the conventions of Hollywood. We decided to use the title of our film as the last shot of the title sequence, this gives the audience an insight to the rest of the film and creates tension and drama as to what is going to follow.
