Question One

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

In order to to create our opening scene we had to look at a number of opening scenes from different films. This is so that we could get ideas on how we would have our own opening scene.

Below is a clip form youtube showing the opening scene to the conversation

Here you can see that we have an over the shoulder shot of the docks with the titles on the bottom right hand side.

We got this idea of using the titles at the bottom of the screen from the film The Conversation as there is an establishing shot followed by the titles which you can see below. Which we have also done.

Most of our inspiration was taken from the film The Last Seduction. The film influenced us so much as we have a similar title and plot. As we watched the opening scene we instantly knew we had to do something like this as most people think of a thriller with stalkers and killings, so we thought we should think outside the box.
