Evaluation, Question One

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


A title sequence is seen as the most vital part of a film. This is because a title sequence is what draws the audience in and introduces the film, whether giving a good impression or bad impression. Each title sequence have their own individual features that creates the right opening and effects to begin the film. The title sequence is the buildingroman or protagonist of films because as it develops it introduces the ideas leading in to the plot of the film.


Our title sequence the dolls house introduces the idea of feminism, mainly because when developing the ideas for the title sequence we were looking at the book "a dolls house" by Ibsen, it inspired us to question the idea of conforming with society and the different aspects shown.


The main theme of the title sequence is the idea of phyichotic murders and challenges the confused mind of a schizophrenic female murderer. We got this idea from the series Dexter which is show on channel four, this is about a man who murders secretly but yet posses an everyday job and an everyday lifestyle conforming with society and his victims.


The dolls house is based upon the genre of thriller, some of the title sequence in which influenced us was ; the ring, saw, and other title sequences like the Texas chainsaw massacre. Our title sequence is relatively modern and focuses around the movements of four teenage girls. The visual technique used allows the film to develop in different ways and to expand further into the storyline and the genre.


The title sequence challenges the conventions by showing a thriller in a different prospective and portraying woman and feminism as being stronger but yet more dangerous.
