Main Task - Post 12.1 - Question 1

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

For this task we are asked to write a directors commentary for our main task opening sequence, we are supposed to comment on how our opening sequence uses or breaks away from conventions. Conventions include  the following,

• Structure of sequence
• Style of presentation
• Style/colour of font
• Genre
• Narrative enigma
• Introduction of characters
• Camera
• Sound
• Editing & Special Effects
• Mise-en-scene

Due to time issues, I am unable to fully do a proper directors commentary for our opening sequence, and so I have taken the opportunity to film myself talking about all of the conventions mentioned and why they are used or broken. And so below is my video for talking about the conventions.
