1. Lost Property How does our media product use, develop or challengeforms and conventions of real media products 2. Looking at our first shot it follows the conventional layout of a typical thriller moviewith a simple black background and a thin font with no forms or use of animationand movement. There is also a contrast in the sizes of fonts we used with the maintitles always being enlarged and the supporting words being small. Rather thanstarting with a moving image with a constant flow of titles we switched betweenthe two (Titles with a black backdrop and the moving image) at the beginning tobuild tension in the opening credits leading to the opening scene to slow downthe pace. 3. The first shot we decided to show the audience was an establishing shot. Againthis follows a convectional form of a media product both in and out of the thrillergenre of film with it also being used in action oriented films and drama/comedyfilms. This shot is mainly used to set the tone and atmosphere to the opening andthe rest of the film giving some hints to the films themes and motive. 4. Our second shot again follows the conventions within the use of athriller/action orientated movie. The shot is short showing a man slowly makinghis way towards the camera. During this shot the camera slightly pans rightgiving it slight movement to show that the opening is flowing and isnt still alsogiving it more purpose rather than just a still shot. It also only shows the manup to his knees leaving his body and more importantly his face unseen. This isa convention typically used within thriller films to make the audience questioncreating a more mysterious tone. 5. Moving on to the next shot type we used a lot in our opening, we used close upsand extreme close ups. This is again conventional within the action/thriller genreto show emotion and at times create suspense within a scene. 6. Again we used close up shots like the one below to give a clear view of what ishappening in the opening to avoid confusion and to also make use of our titles.These mainly consisted of still shots with the titles being in a particular place inthe shot. We also avoided the use of animations and movement within the titleto deliberately make it flat to build tension slowly. This therefore slows down thepacing of the opening on top of that with the slow atmospheric music. 7. This shot is the first that shows a contrast in the type of clothing our charactersare wearing. In this shot we see a man who appears to be stretching his handswearing a suit. The suit gives him more of an edge over our protagonist who onlyappears to be wearing a simple hoodie. This contrast was done deliberately togive our faceless villain more power over our younger black male protagonist. 8. We use a 180 degree pan which is the first shot that fully introduces our maincharacter. The use of the 180 degree pan was used to show that the characteris clearly thinking and trying to focus and avoid panic. This also shows a directchallenge to stereotyping in society. Rather than using a young white male weused a young black male to challenge the negative stereotypes of blackpeople in our society. 9. The shot below is incredibly simple. It shows the title of our film but also gives afew hints to what our film may be based around without revealing the plot. Alsobefore that transition into the shot we show a close up of our main characterthinking to himself. To transition from this into the title shot we use a quick fadevisual effect to show the audience that we have gone back in time and arenow in fact watching our main characters memories rather than the presentmoment. This again is another conventional use within thrillers and to give aclear explanation into what is happening within a scene. 10. Above shows how we used the animation to show the transition. It also shows aclear contrast the types of colour used with the flashback being much brighter 11. The close up below shows the transition of a suitcase from one dealer to ourprotagonist. During the shot we used a slight animation slowing the frames downto build tension and suspense. It also gives evidence to a small amount ofconfusion in our main characters thoughts, slowing down this particular shot tomake it one of the more focussed memories in our protagonists mind. 12. Above are all the shots used during the flash back. During this segment of the opening we deliberately avoided theuse of still shots and went for a more shaky cam approach to give the flashback a more action orientated feel. This isturn made everything seem slightly more dramatic than it actually was. On top of that we switched between theshots much faster as a pose to the shots used to display our titles. This made everything much more fast pacedmaking them seem like a quick flash memory building the suspense making the audience think about what could behappening or could have happened. To finish this short segment we faded back into the present with a darker shotto show a clear contrast between the two time periods 13. The two shots above are again extreme close ups showing our main charactertied up. What makes this different however is the fact that the tension has beenrisen to the point of desperation within our protagonist due many factorsincluding our suited man getting closer and his thoughts causing him to panic.This is again another use of conventions within the thriller genre, building uptension that eventually leads to panic 14. Our finishing shot we set up deliberately to belittle our main character byplacing him further back (making him smaller in the shot) and having the lightsaround him and only him to show that he is the main focus within this shot. Ourvillain is placed closer to the camera and is extremely dark to show a moresilhouetted image and to also show a clear view that he is the villain in thissegment. This shot also makes our protagonist extremely powerless due to himbeing strapped on the chair unable to move. On top of that this whole shot isset up to an extremely conventional themes that occurs in the thriller/actiongenres with one man being strapped to a chair powerless and the other in fullcontrol of the situation
