Evaluation Question 1

Media Studies As Evaluation

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

My video challenges the forms of conventions because I have implemented two screens at 3 points in the beginning of the film with jump cuts and post-production occurring within the screens and below. Our group have also used a various amount of camera movements( panning, tilt, handheld ,tracking, POV), camera angles(High, mid, low, canted) and camera shots (Long, mid, establishing, over shoulder, close-up and a shot reverse shot which we implemented in through the editing process). 

 

 

I tried to include similar factors from the opening sequences I researched.

 

 

 

Opening sequences:

 

Star wars:

Superman 1978:

 

 

 

 

Harry potter deathly hallows Part 2

 

 

 

 

The video also challenges the conventions by containing a physical event where one of the characters feels half conscious in a Point of View Shot (POV). How this was created was a focus effect was added in and animated to focus in when the character regains consciousness. The clip was also stretched to half in speed and muted when the character is half conscious. When the character starts to regain consciousness the speed of the clip resumes normally and all diegetic sound fades in.
