Evaluation Question 1.

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

Our media product can be compared to a variety of real opening sequences that have been produced in a professional way. The media products can only have a slight similarity; this is because the real media products have been produced in a professional way. This means that the professionals will have access to: professional cameras, tripods, dolly’s and other high-tech tools to film.

Our media product offers slow motions scenes, varies fonts and effects which have all been edited through final cut pro. This compares to the real product in a good form, this is because real media products such as the Fast & Furious opening scene. They have also used varies effects and transitions throughout their opening scene so this links to our opening scene. 

Real media products also have an opening before their opening scene; this is just the scene which offers the film title. Our media product has an opening which builds up to the actual scenes; this opening has the film title. Real media products also have transitions in-between their scenes which indicate the producer’s names, editor’s names, character names etc. 

Real media products also have music to fit in with their opening sequences, most real media products have permission to use copyright songs, this gives them a better quality music choice to fit in with the opening scene. Our opening scene does not have this luxury as we cannot use copyright songs.
