Evaluation of my Media Product. (question 1)


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

My Film Opening (The Second Saga: Debriefing), uses many of the conventional techniques that can be seen in a modern day film. The narrative for my final product is non-linear (a film in which the narrative is not presented in a chronological order). This is a device commonly used in the media industry. We begin the film with the end of the plot, where it is revealed that a character has died and the protagonist has survived. The audience are shown a grave on which the name is concealed, which leaves them unaware of which character is going to die (Tragic hero [doomed hero]). We also challenged the convention that a lot of films follow, by opening with an emotional scene; most films of this genre try to open with an intense or thrilling scene to entice the viewers. We decided to use allternative devices to convey the intended emotions.
