Evaluation - Question 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

  1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
To vary how I present each answer for my evaluation questions, I will be using a range of ways to show my answers instead of using video essays for all of them. This first post uses Padlet to represent how my film Identity uses, develops and challenges forms, codes and conventions of real media products. 

Splitting the question up: 
  • in what way does your media product use and develop forms and conventions of real media products? 
Scroll left and right and up and down to view all of the material. Click on images or text to view larger. The below Padlet illustrates the common film noir conventions we conformed to within our film. The majority of these conventions were planned in storyboarding, scripting, research and planning as evident in our blog posts. However some shot ideas were produced on set e.g. the puddle shot as we continuously used our location of London to our advantage to find better or new ideas to use. Following film noir conventions doesn't necessarily make our film cliche, as we have adapted and modernised the concepts (such as using the architectural structure of the train station to represent venetian blinds commonly seen in film noirs).

QR Code option for smartphones and tablet access to our padlet. As stressed throughout my blog, interactivity is key in promoting material across the social networking industry.

  • In way ways does your media product challenge or subvert forms and conventions of real media products?

Whilst we have followed many conventions, we have also subverted many too. The below Padlet shows many ways how we have differed our film from typical conventions of both film noirs and ordinary films. Again, click images and texts to view larger and in higher resolution.
