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

-      Hello I am Rhiannon Valadini and I am the co producer of “One Two Many”.

-      My piece can be clearly recognised as a real film opening because of the block credits at the beginning. I used block titles to enhance the realism of the piece making it overall more authentic.

  

-      It is also recognisable as a real film opening because of the use of credits throughout the opening sequence. I used this type of title because it shows the typical conventions of a real opening title sequence.

- Another way in which it can be recognised as a real film opening is by the use of Barthes enigma code. This is another example of a typical convention of film openings.  

-      The use of music over the action of the scene is also another example of how this piece can be recognised as a real film opening.

-      The use of black and white is one way that my piece can be recognised as belonging to the film noir genre, as it is one of the typical conventions of film noir.

I also included typical characters associated with film noir in my opening such as the Femme-fatale and the heroin who falls for her. These particular characters are also some of the key conventions associated with film noir films. The femme-fatale uses her sexuality to draw the man in slowly. Fore example how she strokes the glass at the very beginning and how she initiates the kiss. It is often the femme-fatale that carries the power and control leaving the man weak and venerable. 

A voice over was also included in my piece demonstrating yet another typical convention of the film noir genre,

-      There was also an emphasis on the cigarettes using close up’s to connote their importance. This is a typical method used by the film noir genre. 

    At the end of my opening there is a close up of the mysterious mans feet rubbing out the cigarette this is another example of typical cinematography used by the film noir genre.
