Evaluation- Question 1

Q1.In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings)

The title of our film is called ‘On The Run’ the reason why we chose to call it this was because during the film opening the boys are often seen running away from things such as, school and the murder they find! Our setting and location for our film was in school and in Cookoo’s hollow, the reason why we filmed here was because it helped set the scene at the start and helped relate to our audience, especially in the school clips. Also the woody background to the location was perfect for our murder scene as it was dark and gloomy which is a great place in a film for a murder. Costumes which were used were everyday teenage boy clothes; the boys wore chinos or skinny jeans and a causal top and hoodys. This also helped relate to our audience. The props used was a football and a knife, the football helped relate to our audience because it is something they would like to do. The knife was used for the murder weapon which helped imply the horror side to the film.  The main part of the film opening was the finding of the body and the camera work used for this was hand held to create a more realistic feature. We used different editing techniques such as jump cuts and fade in and out edits. The overall story for the film would have been, after the boys capture the murder on tape then the person who was caught over the body would try and track down the boy’s this is why the boy’s are on the run hence the title. The genre is Action/Horror and our film opening suggests this because they are running away from things suggesting the action side to it and the finding of the murder suggests the horror side to it. The characters are introduced at the start when they are in the school playing football.
