Using Conventions Of Real Texts

1. From your work find 2 opening sequence analyses of conventions and 2 music video analyses of conventions?

As Opening sequences
  1. Killers
  2. Mr And Mrs Smith
A2 Opening Sequences

2. Referring to the pieces of work discuss how you used conventions of real texts in both productions.

To me a convention was something that could be adapted from one work to another. In order to work out what conventions were used there was a lot of research on analysing the opening sequence to a film that was similar to my film in this case it was Killers and Mr And Mrs Smith. The story line behind both of these films are that a couple fall in love and before they know it one of the partners have been telling lies about their profession and end up putting their loved ones in danger. The ending to these films is that they are contracted out to kill others and wanting to leave this particular industry they fight for their survival.

Using both of the above films to analyse made me look into their background similarities and whether there was anything that i could take from there; because both of the above were romance thrillers it made sense to adapt this to my films opening sequence.  The conventions of a romance film that i had established from analysing the opening sequences was that  copy from website
