Evaluation question 1

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

Conventions of film openings 

Title's are important !

At the start of a film there are always titles , they may be overlayed on the screen or on a blank screen either way their always there. How people choose to display their titles is up to them it may :

Be designed to fit in with location 

Simplistic

eye-catching

The title's we chose in our short film are simple we used two locations and had alot going on so wanted to  keep our title's simple.
e.g

Another important issue with title's is, there's an order! 

There is an order in the way title's should be presented however this order can be changed depending on a few variable's, for example having a big name actor in your film  may mean you push them up a bit or if you have multiple production or distribution companies you would list more than one
