Evaluation Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Convention:
Convention is a theme that is used frequently in films which allows the target audience to know what to expect within a specific genre of film.
Conventions is used mainly in the title sequence of films mainly to introduce characters, and for the audience to acknowledge the companies and productions behind the film. All films put title sequences in order to show the position of the characters whether they are star actors (Angelina Jolie) or actors that are starting out their career its shows the levels of importance characters, production companies, script writers have in making the movie.
Conventional themes were portrayed well in our film opening as we used different issues based in teen films such as
Our film opening is an independent UK teen drama from this we challenged the conventions of movies by being inspired and basing our teen film on an American movie but also interpreting this and developing our film in order to suit our British audience.

Evaluation Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions
When editing our film we made sure that the film was of a well pace as the continuity editing made the film run through. Also in the opening Shannon is shown to have the most screen time as she is the main character as the story is based on her troubled past and new beginning. This interlinks with the convention of teen films as the main character always has the most the screen-time in link with Mean Girls we see the screen-time is shared between Cady and the Plastics.
Mise en scene:
The key props agreed with the conventions of teen films as the props we used such as Make Up,Letter,Mirror School Bag allows us to define the film as being a teen drama as in teen films we see these props used as well as the costume of Shannon and the bullies both wearing uniform set the age of the characters representing them to be teenagers showing binary opposition between Shannon and the bullies compared to teen film where we see that the bullies are always shown to wear uniform but add their own twist to it which defines the character personality.
Sound:
Sound played a massive element in the opening film as our opening was urban so we used urban upbeat music that our target audience could relate to but also we mixed it up with emotional music as we wanted to give off a sad image showing the emotion of the character we also see the scene change between Shannon and the bullies as the music increases as the bullies approach giving off an intimidating feel. From this we use music from sound cloud.

- Close up of our character which shows the emotion of our protagonist so we feel sympathy for the character
- Extreme Close Up of both bullies where from the shot initially we see the attitude and personality of both characters
- High/Low Angle used when flashbacks were played showing Shannon troubled past of being bullied
- POV shot were we see the story in Shannon eyes as the film opening charts a day in the life of a teen schoolgirl which Shannon is portrayed as
