Evaluation part 1-In what ways does your media project use, develop or change, codes and conventions of chsen genre

Typical codes and conventions of a crime/drama film would be:
- A chase (usually car).
- A lot of involvement with props that can be harmful such as knifes or guns.
- The villain (protagonist) would usually have some unidentified problems that will be revealed at the very end of the film.
- The hero (protagonist) who saves everyone will have a partner (usually very intelligent or very dopey).
- Characters will usually include someone vulnerable and gangs.
- Crimes will usually be murder/dramas will usually be to do with family of the protagonist.
- Conflicts due to difference in policing.
- Someone’s private life becoming public.
- Betrayal.

Our story idea Conforms with most of these although we challenge conventions such as the protagonist having a partner making him work alone to achieve his goal, our title sequence doesn't feature any weapons such as knifes or guns but we had plan for use of them in the full story.

Our story does feature a chase of sorts as the story is a man attempting to chase down another man taking justice into his own hands.


  

Final cut

This is the final cut of our title sequence

Review Day 4

Today was the final review before submission We got overall good feedback with minor, easy to fix problems

The group collective was that the music was good for sequence but was too loud, this can easily be fixed in final cut pro
The biggest complaint we got was that they didn't like the font or the timing of them in the clip, we have begun looking for a new font on DaFont and have found a list that shows how what order the title credits go on the clip.  
These are the feedback sheets we got from other groups:

 

Continuation of Music

With our film somewhat sorted out me and Jonathan continued to work on the music for our sequence, with the change of the film elements, we had to scrap most of what we already had and start basically form scratch, me and Jonathan manged to create something we liked and felt went with our titles, but Ben was unsure of the music, So we'll have to leave it down to our audience to say whether or not they felt it went with the sequence.  

Whilst me and Jonathan worked on the music, we left Ben to do the title credits to the sequence.

Filming Day 7

Taking on board what was said we went and got a few more photos
we also filmed some more clips of our own idea including our main character organizing the camera before taking the pictures and the main character looking at a map given the viewer an idea of location to the film.

Review Day 3

Today we got a better review than we had ever before, we were told the idea is good and our title sequence is becoming more relevant to our idea and what we want it to show
Unfortunately at the moment our clip doesn't last long enough being 50 seconds we were recommended taking more pictures for the sequence and to begin focusing on music and where to position the title credits in our clip  

Filming day 6

Today we went back to Ben's house to continue filming
We used Ben's garage as the location to film for today, we shot clips of our main character setting down the photos taken from yesterday on to a table full of newspaper clippings of drug misuse offences to show how how it is an obsession
