Evaluation-question one " In what ways does your media use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media?"



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


i am going to compare my film with a thriller called "panic room" i choose to do this because the still focus on different shots types and clear titles which is shown through in mine. I will be exploring the differences and simlaries mine has to a real media production.

The first still from Panic room is a establishing shoot with a clear white title. An establishing shot is a popular and good way to start of a film, as our film setting wasnt shown through out to keep the mystory up and to make it as thrilling as possible. We have a shot of our vilain christel, this develops panics room idea as its keeps the background low and makes the audience think.

The secound still from "Panic room" is another establish shoot without the title. This shoot doesnt give much of a story line to the audience but also keeps the mistory up, its a mid shot shown. "solo" keeps bits of the story open for the audience to imagen like "Panic room" does, the next shot is a mid shot like "Panic room" of a car and our victem.

The Third shot from "Panic room" is a closer shot of the buildings with a white title in the left hand corner. This is a prefessional way of doing titles as it gives you a bit of the clips and tells you a name. This is a method we used in our film, as in the third still we have a over shoulder shot with the white title in the background like "Panic Room".

The fourth shot from "Panic room" is another title with the location in the background. The shot is very close this can make the audience wonder of the possibillities that could happen through out the film. In "solo" theres a mid shot of our villian again. The types of shots and movements keep repeting thereself. As there both begining of films this happens and is used in mine film aswell as the blockbuster.

The fifth shot from "Panic room" is a tited shot of the building with another title. "Panic Room" uses a variable of shots and titles, i feel that in my production more titles should have bin used in order to give the audience more information of who made the film.The shot from "Solo" is another mid shot this time you see the character face for the first still."Panic Room" hasnt yet introduced any characters in the still which can get quite boring, so i feel the opening of "Solo" is more entertaining.

The sixth shot from "Panic room" is a title shot which is a more zoomed out from the buildings."Solo" has the first close up from the stills, many close ups are used in "Panic room" this is a good technique to use i feel in thrillers as it keeps tension up and build suspenise.

The seventh shot from "Panic room" is the first shot without a title but its still a location shot. "solo" shows a shot of Alima sittin down showing mainly the background, with a piece of white writing in the corner saying a date. This gives the audience a conception of how much time the vitcim has bin tighted up. Its a good technique used in real media and could have bin developed better in my film by having more titles or making it more clearer.

The eighth shot from "Panic room" is a low angle shot looking down to the location. Whereas "solo" shows an extream close up of an alarm clock. This shot is shown quite a few times in order to build suspense. The low angle shot is a good shot to use as it can be used to put empsis on character and location. I would have choose to use this but its trickey without the right equipment.

The last shot from "Panic Shot" is mid shot of the location of buildings."Panic Room" choose there shots to not introduce people and to let the audience get a good feel of location and titles. Whereas we felt it would be a good idea to use people as it grabs the audince attention and builds tension up straight away. The shot from "Solo" is a close up of Alima face this is surpose to be thrilling to the audience as its close and the last shot to be shown.
