Strengths: Good background, good title, good pictures, good editing, original background, good use of footage and pictures.

P1-01 OPENING SEQUENCE 2

Question 1

in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Compare and contrast your own sequence and one which you think has generically influenced you.

developed from Juno :

  - stylized the opening sequence similar to Juno, we used a notepad / diary  look to create          an stereotypical romantic comedy opening.

  - sound track basic no vocals simplistic to match the tempo of the footage, basic Juno traits 

 

  - both beginnings explain the background of the story and the progression in which the beginning takes place. 

contrast : 

 - non - cartoon form when juno goes in and out . 

 - Juno has more transitions , moving background with fade in /outs. 

 - has a longer walking scene with other characters 

 - light hearted soundtrack where as ours is slightly dark 

 - less talking in juno more in ours

 - only 2 locations in ours many in Juno 

Evaluation Q2

How does you media product represent particular social groups?

A character which we found had similar representational issues was from the film Juno. We looked at this opening sequence and liked the way the film opened and have found that one of our characters has similar representational issues. We found that they have similar representational issues because the sequence is of a similar style as both characters begin walking down a street. They also have similar representational issues as they both are not typical feminine girls. We included this in our piece as there is a contrast between the two main characters. Therefore this has elements of a typical romantic comedy, however there are parts which you would not expect to be included.

Nearing the final

We had a rough cut of video which we were going to include in our final piece. However We had a change of plan and we have now decided to be very abstract with our ideas due to only having two different locations in our footage. We have now added in some images to go with the footage and we have stylized our piece with the background being a notepad with images fading in and out of the piece, followed by doodles symbolizing a natural notepad. The main title at the end is all of the doodles combined together to create the title: In too deep.
