Section A: Question 1(a)

Using Conventions of Real Media Texts.

Each of your 3 practical projects had a specific set of conventions. For this topic, you need to consider how your understanding has developed over the course.

Begin by make a note of the conventions of each of the genres you created (you will find conventions of the Music Video and the Thriller on those blogs). Then pick 2 or 3 of these conventions and say how you used them within your own work:

eg. A Convention of the Thriller genre is the theme of identify. In my own project I created mise en scene that included different types of mirrors. These gave different reflections to imply that the protagonist's identity wasn't fixed and could change depending on which context he was in.

Don't forget to ask yourself how useful it is to understand and apply real conventions AND why you ability to apply this understanding has improved over the course.
