Evaluation Question 1 (Gavin Fernandes)

Evaluation Activity 1

In what ways do your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products (i.e. of film openings)

Here are 9 still frames for our thriller opening.

From top left to bottom left the frames are:

1) The production logo.

2) The distribution logo.

3) Shot of setting and idea of location.

4) Mid-Shot of protagonist.

5) Protagonist holding weapon with 'blood' stained on the weapon.

6) Names of the victims.

7) Producers credits.

8) Protagonist approaching victim and looking dangerous.

9) The title 'Closed Doors' fades in as protagonist is just about to hit victim.

Here is a video podcast of my analysis of how our thriller opening (Closed Doors) uses, develops or challenges forms and conventions of real media products.
