Evaluation: 1. In which ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our opening sequence can be compared quite easily to real/actual opening sequences as it is a genre that uses suspense,tension and excitement as some of its main elements which are common characteristics which are seen in thrillers and have been used to attract the audiences.Our opening sequence does not really challenge the forms of thrillers as we believed are film would be better if we made it as realistic as possible.Generally in thrillers the main sub-genre that is most used is psychological thrillers and although our opening sequence does not involve many psychological aspects people however we still believe it gets the audience excited and makes them want to watch on.As it is only an opening sequence we believe our opening sequence takes on some of the characteristics of both crime thrillers and mystery thrillers as we have left it quite open meaning a range of things such as heists,captivities,ransoms and kidnapping which are generally seen in crime thrillers and also even an investigation which would be seen in a mystery thriller.As we have left the identity of the characters left out in the opening and a very mysterious voice over is used only revealing nationality all make our opening sequence seem like a mystery thriller.All of the me-en-scene and the costumes used has also helped in the production of making our opening sequence more like a crime/mystery thriller.
