Task 1- In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

In our opening sequence we looked especially closely at the design of our sequence and the style in which the titles were presented. First we thought we would use something quite normal like 'Courier' trying to keep it basic and medical. We then started thinking about problems with aging and thought we could set the whole thing up as consecutive diary entries and that was then also the style in which we decided to present our titles. We now have them handwritten throughout the whole sequence.

The unconventional thing about our title sequence is the style we chose to use and the way in which we chose to present our titles. They look like parts of the diary but what is more conventional is that we pulled everything else out of focus once the titles appeared to pull the audiences attention on the names which most introduction sequences try to do. Many movies have a title sequence which focuses purely on the presentation of the titles which makes our sequence a little more conventional since we tried to focus our whole sequence on the use of the titles. Another conventional thing about our sequence is that we presented the titles in the order in which they are normally supposed to be presented. That means that we first show the production company, then the director, then the stars, then the director of photography, the the original score, then the screenplay, then the production design, then the editor, then the producer, then the director again and then the title of our film.
