Evaluation question 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?





The purpose of a title sequence is to introduce the story to the audience and to let them get an understanding of who the main characters are from the beginning letting them know what they're like and for us to see how they develop over the film. The title sequence is also used to let us know whether we will like the film or not as it can be used to connote the genre as well as information to help attract us as the audience to watch it.

What a good title sequence should do is is should involve conventions of the film genre. Conventions are very important to any film. Conventions are involved in films so that the audience have a brief understanding of what they can expect, this really helps because it helps grab their attention to the film. Some conventions of title sequences would be to introduce the protagonist during the film opening, this is so that the audience are introduced to him or her. Some examples of this would be how during the Kidulthood film opening we're introduced to the protagonist that being Trevor.





During Kidulthood we see convention s of title sequences by being introduced to protagonist Trevor. This helps the audience because they get to see the protagonist develop throughout the film which we get to see Trevor do so.

Another example of conventions of title sequence would be from the title sequence we made. From our title sequence for Street Love we decided to introduce the protagonist Kai given him the majority of screen time.

Title sequences are always seen in a strict order when we see film openings. This is for specific reasons. They are constructed to look the way they are because of importance. Production companies and also distribution companies will consistently come first so they gain the recognition that they deserve for the film. The conventional way that we see title credits would be:

• Distribution company
• Production company
• Actors
• Casting
• Costume
• Music
• Photography
• Edited by
• Producer
• Director

In title credits, it's conventional that we will constantly see the director closing the title credits. The function of title credits is that the audience see who has made an input into the making of the film. There are severe punishments for not including people into title credits. George Lucas was fined $250,000 by the directors from Guild of America for not putting the directors name in the opening title credits.
