Evaluation Question 1

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

It is possible to recognise our film as a real film opening because of certain things like the credits and the soundtrack. If you look at most film openings in our specific genre then they are very similar to ours. For example in Kidulthood the soundtrack has a very urban, underground feel to it, very similar to ours. Another way  in which our film would fit into the British social realism drama would be by the way in which the characters seem to be humiliating, cocky and up front. This is shown in the Green Street opening when the characters are coming out of the train station stairs and confront another firm. Both parties clash with each other therefore supporting the idea of dominant ideology as this is what you would expect from most males. We decided that we couldn't really challenge dominant ideology because we would struggle to fit this in to our plot.
