Part Four In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
Our media product is developed by using the same kind of effects as in other big name films such as The Departed, in the beginning when we do not see the mans face as there is a shadow over it and we tried to develop our sequence so that we could incorporate it in our way. For example we only showed the side of the inspectors face or the back of his head, this enables us to have a little mystery to it. We were able to achieve this by using different camera shots such as over the shoulder so that we could show the inspector but no showing his whole face.
We were able to challenge the codes and conventions when it came to the sound that we used as we used a Chinese song that you would either love or hate. We had a first choice of song that was really liked and fit really well but after we couldn't get it right we had to use another and the one that we used was very different and many did say that they were not sure about the music. However i think that it fits really well with the sequence, but it would be the life or death of our film.
When we decided that it would be a crime genre we did not anticipate that we would come to the conclusion that we would want to make a theme of the triads in it. We developed the narrative by giving it a subtle theme that would make it more interesting on a whole. We did this by the introduction to a new character type which is Si Hin's character to show that there is essence of a Chinese them. We were also able to get actual footage of Hong Kong that one of our group members filmed themselves which made it more real and believable.
There are a couple of forms and conventions that we have used for our media product that would be used in real media conventions such as information about genre. We have done this by making sure that we have shown someone following a criminal when a transaction of drugs. For example in Die Hard's opening sequence we see that he establishes that he is a police officer by showing his gun and an exchange of dialogue explaining why he has a gun. This enables us to understand what sort of genre of film it is, this is transferred to our sequence when we show the drugs, private investigate and the police boat on the river.
There are certain types of patterns and types of editing that will be echoes in the remainder of the film and this is a type of convention which we will use in the rest of our film, the certain shots that we would use would be the over the shoulder shot for the investigator. However for the criminal we would use long shot to show the whole of his body as he may have something on him to which we need to show. By doing this we are following some of the forms and conventions of real media products.
