Q1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our film genre is Action and due to the resources at our disposal we couldn't add any over the top dramatic visual effects of explosions gun fire and bloody violence which is typical to our chosen genre. But after all we only needed to do the opening sequence so we looked at what was typical of Action openings. Usually the storyline is created around an event which usually happens in the opening of the film and the rest of the story is built up around that event.


So in ours Sam is just finishing a normal day at work and then things get as far from normal as they could probably get when he stumbles in on a dodgy back room drugs shipment deal, which the stereotypical bad boss doesn't what him to see so he sets out to silence him.

It has a stereotypical chase, damsel in distress a hero and a villain and that's about it for stereotypical Action genre.
