Evaluation Question 1: How does your media product use, develop or challange forms and conventions of real media products?


This is a screen grab from the title sequence of the Dark knight thriller film. The tile of the film appears at the end of the title sequence, similar to how our title appeared on Broken alliance.


Panic room started off with a panning shot of the city, which we incorporated into our title sequence. as it is an action thriller, we wanted to use the city in our filming and we have already taken photo's which convey this. A lot of thriller films which inspired us had various city shots.





Earlier on, when looking at title sequences, dawn of the dead was one which really stood out. from the inspiration of this film we decided to cut between titles and shots and to put our titles on a black screen. This heightens the suspense of the title sequence and leaves the viewer wanting to watch more of the action.


At the beginning of Broken alliance we have a shot of a bird flying in the sky, similar to this film 6 feet under. This is used as an introductory tool to the film, preparing the viewer for what they are about to watch . It also contributes to the introduction of the City.



This clip from the action thriller movie Speed, which i looked at earlier on, also shows the use of the City in a thriller film. This inspired us to use this convention of an action thriller as it was available for us to use and made our film more realistic.
