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

I feel that the methods we used to film our openenig scene production. our film is basicly set in 4 different scenes. we use the first scene of Emily in the bath. the atmospher is quiet and relaxed yet very tense. There is no talking and emily is alone. It is quiet and the audience are anticipating what will happen next, this immedietly catches the attention of the audience due to the suspence and tense atmospher. I think this is different and a origional way of starting an opening scene because many opening sequence try to be loud and attention grabbing with violence or comedy. we came from another direction to try and show diversity.

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

I think that our media production represents 'troubled teenageers'. our film is focused on the social problems that Emily has to deal with after the tagic death of her parents. the opening sequence is at a slow pace and of low volume. This gives a dramatic yet depressing atmosphere hence why it is focosed on troubled teenagers or any teenagers with issues. I think the slow and dramatic affect with dim coulors sets this atmosphere well.

We tried to represent this buy making our character Emily look unhappy and low in confidence. We had to display this in mainly Emily's body language. For example Emily never smiles or show any great enthusiasm in our opening sequence this gives a atmosphere because the way she acts and behaves is not normal for a young teen.
