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

Creating credits and a title

In response to our teacher and peer feedback we took immediate action by planning a title. Since we hadn't found out what we were going to call our film we had to have a little discussion around the topic. The final title for the film is "Shotta." This video shows why we chose this title.  

The font used for our title sequence also looked out of place so we decided to look in to styles and colours. This video illustrates the decision making process behind the font.

Finally the last title and credit problem we had to remedy was the difference between credits and the title, as we started improving our sequence we found that our audience couldn't depict the difference between the title and the credits so we had to present the title of the film in a slightly different font.

The last form of action we took in improving our drafted product was to further develop realism, what I mean by this is the realistic image of a dangerous young male who is in a relationship with people who are in trouble with the police. Here is an audio/video of us explaining the decisions made for using sound affects to create this verisimilitude. 

Title sequence first draft Along with feedback

Our first draft of our title sequence had to be made in a very limited amount of time, so what we concentrated on mainly was the editing of the shots. This meant that we negelected the titles and credits, however I feel that we have created some good scenes within this piece for a first draft.

Good points 

• Some good moments created through close up shots and shot reverse shots of the protagonist's face.
• Good use of mis en scene it was very convincing at times. 
• The location is used well as it is very realistic to involve a very well layed our room for a semi rich drug dealer.

Improvements

• The overall title sequence is too long and becomes quite boring. 
• Needs background music added since without it the sequence is even more boring.
• Some shots are too long.
• Although the location used seems relevant there are no establishing shots which is part of the convention of the title sequence form.

 On the whole I believe that the feedback attained from my peers and my teacher has been very useful and I should use this to enhance the final outcome of my title sequence. However the feedback on the use of location may not be fully developed since this was deliberate as we wanted to create that claustrophobic so that we are able to place our audience in the same position as our protagonist. But we will still improve most of the other forms of feedback.

Storyboard first draft for our Title sequence Part 1

location plan

Initially we were thinking of shooting the location outside of the apartment but after a group discussion and audience research we decided to shoot inside the apartment in the protagonist's bedroom. This is because inside of the apartment will allow us to delve in to the characters emotions which our audience desired. We also wanted to create a claustrophobic affect and so by doing this we  will be shooting in a bedroom.

Here is the initial location where we were going to use an establishing shot to establish the scene, however because of our demand to make it more of an emotional and personal setting, we aren't going to use an establishing shot and we are going to just start the scene from the characters head down.
