In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions

of real media conventions.

Technical.

Camera shots.To use forms and conventions of real soaps we used camera shots that are regularly used in all soaps.

The use of a close up shows the emotion in the face so the audience can understand the situation and the mood the character is on. Here Kieran is seen to be upset and confused.

We used medium shots to show the character and to show the scene. But by only using a medium shot instead of a long shot doesnt give too much detail or too much away. E.g emotion in characters face.

To mimic a typical soap we used over the shoulder shot to make the audience feel like they are in the shot and to show location and emotion.

Whereas using the long shots enable the audience to see the mise en scene.
