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

opening film sequence uses conventions of real media products such as the slow eerie titles that appear at the start of the sixth sense. I decided to use most of my titles at the start to build tension and create atmosphere to my work but then decided that inputing establishing shot to challenge the stereotype of close ups but still fits in with the stereotype of making the audience ask questions. I used I used the classic convention of tension building music such as a simple beat and a backing music shortly accompanies my product to create more nerves. I then choose to channeling the stereotype of fast past clips not showing you the full view of the main subject in the clip (in my case a person) but then still managed to keep the stereotype by using objects in the mise-en-scene to hide the key details such has his face making the audience what to see the film even more as all good thriller products do.

Titles

From the of i had a genral idea of what kind of titles i wanted this was because of the reasch i had done befor hand making it simple for me to choose. i when for a more eeire type of title font witch i rememerd seeing in "The Sixth Sense". Also witch apealed to me more with this was the sharp cut of the wrighting.

Casting

There's only three members of us within our small group so we decided that there will only be three characters in our opening sequence to our Thriller movie. We planned the story-line and then wrote our the character descriptions, from there we decided who would play who. at the start when we was deciding to see who does who in the acting sequence of the film Tyler told us he didn't what a big role in the acting and would rather help more with the shooting thats why he has the smaller role of Scott who is found dead in the park . then it was me and Jacob left to diced what to do in the too roles but came to the conclusion that it didn't really matter as much due to the similarity to their lifestyle and personality, apart from their sense of humor. I decided to take the role of Norman, the slightly more serious guy who is the leader of the three pals. This left Jacob with Brandon; they guy who was the same as Norman just had a little bit more of a laugh and thought with his families wealth he'd be able to stroll through life.
So with people now given their characters and their roles etc. We individually started to plan costumes, props and whatever else our character would need.

Character descriptions

Scott (Tyler): Scott is the odd one out in the group, he is the sort of the tag-along kid. He's always behind on the latest news, never up to date with the latest pair of trainers and unlike many boys doesn't take an interest in football. He's a tall, white boy who wears scruffy clothes and doesn't have a lot of money. This shows up with the technology the three of them show off in the opening sequence. is aged 15 making him the youngest of the group witch always leads to jealousy

Norman (Paul): Norman is the leader of the three boys. Although he's character and Brandon don't seem different, Norman sort of has the upper hand on things. He has the last say, the good ideas and is always the one to pipe up first! He's a flash kid, the newest shoes with the designer hoody and the best mobile, iPod, PSP etc money can buy. On top of this, he doesn't give Scott as much aggro as Brandon does. His 16, quite tall, golden brown in complection and stocky in staure making the dominent alpha male in the group.

Brandon (Jacob): Brandon is sort of the 'Malcolm in the Middle' type of character. He's better than Scott but not better than Norman. He's just as flash as Norman, with the same clothes and latest gadgets although there's something about him that holds him back from being on the same level as Norman within the group. He likes to get his kicks out of making fun out of Scott's disadvantages in life, although sometimes it back-fires. His avrage hight, white, 16 and mediam billd.

None of the three characters have jobs, apart from Scott who sometimes helps out his dad if he needs help down the yard. There all high-school students in there last year of school preparing for their GCSE's.

Shooting Schedule

A shooting schedulle is a proget plan of each days shooting for a film production.It is normaly created and manged by the assistant director who reports to the product manger, managing the production schedule. Both schedules represents a timeline stating where and when production resorses are used.

this is very important to us as a group as we have a very busy life style with college work and semi pro football so it is imporantant we make set times were everyone is avalible, without the structure of our shooting schedulle trying to complete are video shot would of been choatic and unorganised leaving us with a squeas for time
