In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Conventions of a film opening are methods that often use certain common conventions for conveying meaning through particular camera and editing to make it an effective film opening.
Our media product is an opening scene to Affliction of Memory which we made using different elements of mise en scene, camera work, editing and the use of characters.
For our film we decided that we would challenge the typical film convention as we had made the mother the main character in our film opening scene. The main focus was the mother and her emotions towards the deceased child. We focused on her reaction for example the crying and depressing states she would be in and her body language. We based it around a Psychological thriller. We didn't use much mise en scene as our ideas for the film opening didn't need many props as it was a simple idea where we only needed a white dress, wine, cigarettes, ashtray, lighter, fake blood and a wine glass. We also used minimal sound throughout the whole video which was taken from sound track pro. The sound is very intense and builds up to make tension which gives it that psychological thrill. The camera work we used was mainly mid close ups and close ups. The editing was just fadeins and credits. We also had a location which as was at a church grave yard in upper street islington.
We adapted our idea for our film opening scene from the film orphan. We mainly took the concept of the creepy little girl as we thought this was scary and would make our thriller opening a compelling and scary one attracting audiences from 15 and over.
You can see that we adapted this concept for our own image of a little girl pretending to be creepy.
The emotions on a persons face makes a situation scarier and where they are placed in a scene, for example the image above this one we can see the little girl standing in a dingy background, with an evil expression and beady black eyes. On the other hand looking at our own image we tried to get the same mise en scene, this can be seen from the icy cold background and the blank expression on the girls face looking into the camera lens.
We had various camera shots for example,
This is a long shot
This is a medium close up
This is a close up
This is a over the shoulder shot
The props and location that we used are:
We filmed in St Marys church upper street islington.
These are our props and the picture of the corner of a room is where we filmed our other half the film in a house in bethnal green
