Question One.

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

Numerous opening sequences influences our thriller opening. These titles are from popular films which have appealed and been successful within their chosen audiences. Within this blog I will show you how they inspired us, within the use of youtube and screen shots from our thriller sequence.

Above is youtube footage of the

opening sequence to The Conversation, I believe that this resembles our opening titles, as our first scene consists of an establishing shot. Over looking the docks, which is located in East London. Also to accompany this establishing shot, we have added text which is also positioned in the right corner.

Also another film that influenced our thriller was, The Last Seduction. It inspired us in many ways including the title and the plot. After watching the opening to this film we suddenly realised that the plot was very original, as most people who think of thriller instantly imagine stalkers. But we thought outside of the box and chose to film an escort.


Although previously we anaylised the titles of 'Superman and Batman , Public enemies'. While creating our plot, we suddenly realised that this research was simply not needed. As it didnt relate to our thriller opening.
