Task one: In what does your media produce, use develop or challenge forms and conventions and conventions of real media products?

Our media product conforms to and challenges real media conventions. We needed "Resurgence" to do both of different reasons. We let it conform so that the audience could relate or recognize the sequence. We did this by using normal opening sequence credits in the usual order of usual opening sequence conventions. We also immediately used central character of the film in the sequence so that the audience could establish a connection with the character. Resurgence is a in the thriller genre so we also tried to break some of the conventions. We did this because we believe a thriller should try to make the audience feel slightly uncomfortable and uneasy with what they are seeing. We did this by cutting to a shot of a character clearly being executed in the early 1900s to him in the modern-day looking the exact same age.

Usual film opening credits starts with the film distributor; we chose Vertigo films because they specialize in low budget feature films.

The credits then move on to the production company and after this the more creative roles in the sequence, for example director and main actors.

We used after effects so the audience could relate the sepia almost black and white tint to the era of the 1930s.





We also assisted media conventions by making sure the characters dressed in to date costume.




This is a shot of a sponge and bucket. It is an extreme close up

This is an extreme close up of our actor Hectors eyes. This indicates the pure evil inside him, no remorse or fear that we should be able to see in another character using the same situation



This shot is of one of the police officers, it is a shot that helps indicate the general surroundings and sets the serious scene.






The last three screen grabs are more visual reinforcement on how we convade real media products.
