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

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of a real media products? In my film I don’t think we challenged any forms and conventions of a real media product. This is because my film follows a broad code of any media products I have studied that’s why they’re a lot of conventional behaviour from the characters in my film, because of similar films such as shank or TV series like Top Boy our target audience expectations on our film will be high due to the high level of the cinematography mentioned above. However as our target audience is aimed at young adults we only rely on their thoughts and opinions of those people. In terms of title in my film, I feel it’s quite similar to other sorts of film in my genre, consequently making my film very formulaic. Moreover the titles we choose for the film is not only collective but it shows that it doesn’t challenge the forms and conventions of media products. Overall I feel that the titles we choose was the right decision because the titles suit our film because the way it’s created suits the action packed storyline of our film. I used a lot of audio codes in my film to highlight and show the most climatic part of the film. In the film you can clearly see we used a voice over to highlight the characters feeling and increase the tension in the film because its one of the conventions of the crime drama. In addition to, the soundtrack we used are similar to big films and TV series such as Top Boy so by using similar soundtracks in our film we will give it credibility and also its good to have similar soundtracks because it keeps interest from our target audience as they are used to these type of music. In the technical code side of the filming we used a lot of industry shardard film shots such as like a POV multiple times in our final. We used a lot of industry standard shots because films and Tv series such as Top Boy, Shank and Bullet Boy utilising these of shots in making there film brilliant. We also used creative camera movement in the filming of our film to make our film more interesting to our audience. In addition to for the symbolic codes in our film we used a variety of different elements to highlight the codes. We used different setting such as council houses and urban areas in order for the our film to fits the genre of the film we were trying to portray. We also made our characters act and dress as if there were in gangs with wearing hoodies and trainers and also speaking in slang. We did this because this was expected for the type of genre we were tryting to portray.
