Question one.

Question one; In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our opening sequence contains subtle similar conventions to that of British cinema, the topic of mental health awareness and a problem that needs resolving are brought across in a surrealist effect.
Scenes such as close ups following the characters journey give the feeling of tension and wonder towards the audience, this enhances the storyline following her amnesia and produces a minor story following up to her accident. Many British films themselves are based upon character with a problem or a situation needed to be resolved, and a lot of scenes may contain little or no dialogue and will shortly focus on the characters actions to promote the storyline.

For comparison, the british film 'CashBack' written by Sean Ellis, tells a story of a boy who develops insomnia after losing his girlfriend however , resolves the situation by gaining a night job at his local supermarket. The story focuses on the people he meets and those he knew, proving extremely effective as the audience feel they already know the character. Strong narrative points also increase the relationship between audience and main character.
