Evaluation Question 1

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

The final product is very different in terms of production. For one, the opening sequence is very low budget and filmed without any special effects. As our genre of the title sequence is on 'Action', these are two large components that are missing from our groups media product. This certainly challenges whether it is an 'Action film' at all. The only way to disguise the title sequence as an 'Action Film' is the use of violence portrayed within certain scenes and the use of fast paced music in the chase scene (plus, the fact there is even a chase scene).

This is a compilation of screen shots from our title sequence.
This is a compilation of screen shots from 'Casino Royal' 


As you can tell there is a vast difference between the quality of the two title sequences. Ours is very amateur and poor quality, due to not spending a penny on the overall production of it. Whereas, 'Casino Royal' had an enormous budget and by just looking at the quality of the graphics in the screen shots you can tell. 


If we had the money and large resources to play with, I don't think we would challenge the conventions of a typical action movie.
