Main Post 12.1: In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Here is a video of Our Opening Sequence, Contamination of which I have completed a Directors commentary and inserted in over the top of our video, talking about aspects of mise-en-scene within, our chosen sound track, shots and things we could have included.

Here is a brief summary of what I spoke about during my Directors Commentary:

The structure of our opening sequence, slightly changed from our original plan, as when we started to edit shots together they didn't look as flush as we wanted them to and they also didn't run as smoothly into one another as planned.
We chose to use this specific sound track as it created a tense feel as though building up to a climax and created an eerie atmosphere
By having heavy breathing over our point of View shots, it creates an interaction with the character.
Jumping/tripping shot:  To make this shot even better we could have added in a close up of Jacob after he tips to allow the audience to connect with the character also enhancing the sense of action within the piece.
Mise-en-scene:  We decided to film in a wood as was the most suitable for our opening sequence as was lots of objects and nature around making it seem as though the character is in the middle of nowhere.
We have used panning at the beginning of our piece as to establish the location and setting of the piece.
We have filmed lots of shots of Jacob running, of which we have tried to fast edit the shots together to make a greater impact on our sequence. Also by having Jacob running in different directions all over the place it creates the sense of confusion within the piece and disorientation.
We chose this specific typography as looked effective and interesting, we chose to fade it in and out so that it slowly disappeared and reappeared.  
We used the effect dip to black throughout,  as some of the shots didn't run smoothly as from the Point of View shot to the still shot didn't work so by suing a dip to black enabled us to create a smooth flowing connection.
