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

My AS preliminary exercise consisted of a number of camera shots in order for viewer to understand what is happening so they are able to understand the plot of the story from the start. At the beggining of our film we have two friends (layla & rosie) talking , we used shot reverse shots and over the shoulder shots shots when each of them spoke, this is to allow the viewer to follow the conversation, and to be able to see any emotion during dialogue. Rosie and Layla postioned themselves on the set (grass outside sixth form) in the way which was capable of allowing us to keep to the 180 degree rule, this is to make sure the viewer is not disoeriented on the whereabouts of the actors, from the start they will know which side each actor is.
We used the close up shot in throughout the film in order to capture the emotions shown by the characters, so the viewer can determine whether the scene is sad, happy etc...
We used correct framing in the terms of having the camera on the head level of actors, this so there is no confusion of who is talking to who, and it is vital any actions or emotion is visible.
As i was one of the charatcers in the film i cannot go into great detail of why some shots were used however what i can say is, the shots we used helped to make the film what we wanted it to become. It made it commical and serious when we needed it to be.
