1. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIAPRODUCT
USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND
CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIAPRODUCTS?
By Mohoshin Raja

2. Use of conventions from real media
• An example of real media that we looked at was, Attack
The Block
The screen shot shows two
youths wearing hoodies and
normal street clothing like jackets
and tracksuit bottoms
Similarly, we used the clothing that
normal teens wear in London, to match
the conventions of our genre

3. Conventions of Dialogue
• Also, another movie we looked at was Kidulthood.
• In this movies the youth of London use a lot of slang and
they have their own dialect. For example they would use a
lot of slang, swear words and coded words.
• Similarly, we used the same type of dialect. This wasn’t
very hard because we are common with this type of East
London dialect as we grew up with such use of language.

4. Developing and challenging real media
products
• Whilst looking at movies like Adulthood and Kidulthood,
one will notice that the storyline is very similar. They
both have the same type of ‘bad guys’ and have similar
looking characters.
However, our media product develops and
challenges this because we have a complex
and different storyline. For example the ‘bad
guy’ in our movie is different from the ‘bad guy’
in kidulthood. He looks different and talks
different.
