In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop Or Challenge Forms And Conventions Of Real Media Products?

Setting/Location - the reason why we chose the park and Ashley's (Olu) house as our setting/location was because the park went really well with the fac that Alicia was pregnant as there were children playing in the background.

Then we also used Ashley's house in the sense that it was a good effect to have Alicia catch her boyfriend & Shaniqua in the act, and yes! that turned out well.



Costumes & Props - although I was the stylist on set, there weren't much things I could style. On the day of our first filming session I just worked with what the actors/actresses had and added a few extra touches. However many props were used:
1. Pregnancy Test
2. Fake Blood
3. BB smartphone
4. Trophy
All those are little props compared to the bigger ones used on set i.e. Swings in the park, Bed etc.

Camerawork & Editing - This is shot is showing the whole running sequence from the park to Ashley's house, as soon as Jermaine shouts at Alicia "No, Wait" the music begins and plays throughout the running scene. As the running is going on you can see the follow up of both characters, i.e. the reverse shot of Alicia's feet to Jermaine's. Then as Jermaine is approaching Ashley's house it goes into slow motion which is a great effect and then speeds up just before he enters the house, amazing!

Title Font & Style - We went for a more army/street type of look for Font and decided it'll make the fact that our genre is drama stand out. The framing at the beginning is just the spelling of each characters name as they'e being introduced subconsciously. Then at the end of the 2minutes the sound of the jailbars brings the 'LOVE' & 'LOCKDOWN' together aggressively.

How Characters Are Introduced - At the beginning Alicia is the lead of who introduces the characters as, as she is talking and addressing the situation their names are written across the screen.

Special FX - We used a slow motion effect to enhance/exaggerate the intense moment of when Jermain is running after Alicia to Ashley's house, it really made a good effect on the running sedquence.
