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

TITLING ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: For our production, we used the titling for “ Hannibal” as our example. Our title “Neurosis” was placed over a black background in order to convey darkness. However our font style was different from “The Secret Window” and “Hannibal”, it was more eroded and sharp in the edges. Also, our film title is in red because it foreshadows darker events that will take place later on in the film.

CAMERA MOVEMENT ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: In our production, we challenged this convention and kept the camera stationary for most of the time apart from the opening shot where the camera tilts down to reveal the two characters walking. We did this in order to let the audience digest the scene instead of making it a fast paced thriller where the audience is being taken on different adventures. We want to make it clear that the main focus is Horatio, his isolation and his obsession with Mia.

FRAMING OF SHOTS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: Similarly, we used a medium close up of Horatio in order to convey his concentration when he’s writing the article on Mia. We also used a wide variety of medium shots in order to display the atmosphere and introduce the different scenes.

CAMERA ANGLES ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: For our production, we challenged this convention by not using low angles or high angles because high angles are used to establish authority. For example a high angle conveys inferiority and a low angle conveys superiority. We did not want to convey inferiority and superiority because we felt that we should let the audience decide who is inferior or superior. For example Mia is superior in terms of popularity however Horatio is superior in terms of intelligence.

SELECTION OF MISE-EN-SCENE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: Similarly, for our final media production we used a music piece called “Sad Story” from a royalty free music website in order to create an eerie atmosphere. Also, we used dark lighting when Horatio is in the newsroom in order to convey his alienation from his peers and also to add to his suspicious behaviour.

EDITING DIRECTIONS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: In our final media product, we used cut shows when Horatio’s in the newsroom to highlight his movements up until the article and to also highlight the article itself. We used a fade in in the beginning to introduce the surroundings, Mia and Horatio.

SOUND ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: Similarly, for our final media product we used a mixture of non-diegetic sound and diegetic sound. In the beginning we used diegetic sound where Horatio is breathing heavily and we used non- diegetic music for the rest of the opening in order to intensify the mystery and tension already in the opening.

ACTOR’S POSITIONING AND MOVEMENTS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Our final media product: In our final product, we used this convention and made sure that Horatio was always in the centre of the shot to make it clear that’s he’s one of the main character’s. Also, Mia’ movement in the opening shot and the fact that she’s looking straight ahead suggests confidence and the fact that Horatio nervously pushes his glasses up suggests that he’s nervous.
