Finally
I'm so happy the group work has come to end. I feel free and wide. I kind of enjoy working with this through thick and thin because at the end we managed to put our differences apart

Question 1:In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Conclusion
The top image is a shot of a skyline from a real title sequence. Underneath it is our title sequence, where we stick to the same convention of a skyline shot. However, my group have challenged the convention and added our production company's ident integrated to the shot of the skyline.
We've also followed the conventions of a title sequence itself, as we've added short shots and even short scenes which wouldn't usually be the case in other parts of the film, and like almost all title sequences, we've added the names of people that help create the film. We've also increased the font when the main title of our film appears.
With the use of our soundtrack however, we've also challenged the convention as we didn't use a well-known hip-hop artist's song with which people can relate to. Instead, we used an instrumental which also sounded quite suspenseful and tense to fit in with the 'Thriller' Genre of our film, while it also represents the urban and crime genres of the film, in addition, representing the main characters.

Someone who is a part of our target audience and might be interested in our product.

Evidence of Submission
For the deadline day of the final cut, our group never saved it properly into the video drive as we had many cuts under many names. However, we eventually managed to get the video drive backand solve this problem after the final day of submission.

Our '100 Productions' Ident
Written by Reeve:
For our film opening, I made a custom ident from scratch featuring the logo made by Mohamed.
For our ident and the 'animation' or appearance it may have, I decided to pay homage to the 1968 film 'Bullitt', which had an interesting animated ident for 'Warner Bros. Seven Arts' as shown below:
The end result ended up looking a bit sloppy, especially towards the end, but its not like I'm a professional. This was my first time even attempting to do an effect like this and for a first attempt, it came out sort of decently. Afterwards, I had to export the After Effects file into Premiere, to incorporate it over the skyline shot. I chopped the clip into 3 parts; one with only the '1' being drawn, another with just the '00' and simply just a portion with the complete '100'. They all lasted different lengths and had different speeds to add effect. The '1' was drawn fairly slowly, while the '00' was drawn faster (mainly to hide the sloppiness). The third part was meant to last the length of the rest of the ident. I made the 'PRODUCTIONS' and 'camera' fade in after the 100 was complete, and the 'PRESENTS' would fade in slightly after. The timeline of the ident will be shown below:
The 'final' version of the ident will be displayed below:

I felt that it would be fairly easy to incorporate the 'semi-animated' style of this opening. As the Warner Bros. Ident has a 'W7' symbol being 'drawn' in the shield to make the full logo, and the rest of the logo fades in, with a delayed fade on the 'Presents', I could apply the 'drawing' effect to the '100' of the logo, which already looks handwritten to begin with, and have the camera shape and 'PRODUCTIONS' fade in, with some other 'Presents' text fading in afterwards.
In order to get the '100' to have a 'drawing' effect, I had to use Adobe After Effects. With the help of YouTube and the college's technician, I learned that I had to use the 'pen' tool and click certain areas of the logo in a specific order, bending lines to match the shape, as well as the thickness of the line. I had to adjust the settings to 'Reveal Original Image', so that the image starts off not being visible, and the '100' becomes visible in the way I drew it (I can't explain things very well). The 'end' (it was actually slightly re-edited afterwards. We just don't have footage of that) result was this:
