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

Memento title sequence:





Memento title sequence starts with credits and then goes into the actual title of the film. Then an extreme close up shot of a hand holding a photograph is seen. Memento uses what is known as the slow seduction technique. This is when title sequence slowly draw you in and then later on in the film you get the action. As you can see in the shots I have chosen, gradually the development of the photograph is going in reverse as the whole scene is in reverse. The credits are put onto the shots unlike in the very beginning of the title sequence where they are on a black background.

Our title sequenc:




As for our title sequence we also incorporated a part in which the scene is moving in reverse. However, to
challenge memento's slow seduction, instead while the scene was going in reverse it was going quite quckly
as it seemed more suited for our title sequence. It was an inspired idea that gave our title a good edge. The
credits to our sequence are placed on the shots like Memento. Unlike Memento the title to our film was not
shown until the very end of our title sequence.
