Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

In our media project we did our best to re-create things we've seen in past film noir movies and develop them into new and different ways to benefit the watching experience. We did this a number of ways with the narrative, camera work editing and mise-en-scene as well as some other smaller details. In this evaluation we will cover how these methods of presenting different forms and conventions in the older film noir movies and then show how we re-did these methods.
We will first cover the narrative of a film. This can be done in a few ways, the most common in film noir movies is to introduce the movie through a narration over the establishing shots of a movie. This will be done to show of the location in which the film would take place while also being given some information relating to the story or the main character. We did use the the narrative approached in the same way but instead didn't use the a establishing shot of what city it was in, instead we started at the crime scene but still included the voice over explaining parts of the story which has lead up to this scene. Not only could we use this Technic to introduce our movie but we could create a lot of questions in the viewers minds which engages them in the movie are interests them in continuing to watch.
A very important part in creating a film noir movie was its camera work. In film noir movies there are a lot of low and high camera angels to present power to particular characters on screen. In our film we wanted to use similar camera angels to show power in the scenes. We also included shot reverse shot which can be scene in a lot of other movies including film noir, this shot is to show a conversation happening between two people standing next to each other. In these shots we are able to create dialogue between the two which can elaborate more on the story of the movie connecting the viewer to the movies world.
