Question 1:

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

I know that all conventional film openings have titles of the production companies including those those who were also highly involved such as the star actors and the director. The start of The Last Exorcism presents the man character in First-Person, I chose to do my production from a Third-Person perspective

In my production I have followed conventions in the ways of which the opening credits are presented. I have super-imposed the names of my actors over the top of the beginning opening shots, which is typical of opening.

 

Titles	Originally I put this at the beginning and chose to have a cryptic message. There was a full stop and it was underlined. This is a very unconventional way of presenting the title as most film openings do not have any punctuation. I decided to change it: Now I have chosen a title with a double meaning. Conventionally titles begin with the word "The" and then a noun. I have copied this.
Credits	The beginning is very typical to film openings as it shows the audience who is in it and the major production teams. I have put in the names of the people who helped me with this, including the producer of the music and the actors. I followed typical conventions of opening credits, small enough so that the footage is shown but big enough to be read.
Production Logos	They are inserted with the titles at the start to show the audience the who the contributors are . Production logos are always seen at the start of the film opening, before any footage is shown, so the logos need to be shown first.
Angles	Usually my shots are low angle or about level with a desk, but I probably did too many over-the shoulder and point of view shots. I would have done more close ups and extreme close ups.
Sounds Effects	Ambient background sounds of typical office-like noises such as a coffee machine, printer, and people typing. In horror films, sharp and loud sound effects are used to create a feeling of hypersensitivity of the audience.
Music	Almost continuously used throughout. There usually would only be one track or none at all in a normal horror opening, therefore I have gone with the conventional method by only choosing one track.
Lighting	I shot with natural lighting because I wanted to give the audience an impression that is a normal setting or environment. In a way I am giving the audience a false sense of security. However, in most horror films, lighting is very dark and unclear, produced by low lighting and filters.
My film opening scenes sometimes  subvert conventional processes, however there are some parts which do follow .
