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

Our film "Moving On?" is a bit like the Working Title film "Bridget Jones Diary" as it mostly has the same plot: woman hates her job and wants to move on, hence the title of our film.
We decided to use emotion as one of the main assets to convey what the film is really about, in nearly every scene you see rain or a rain drop so you know this film isn't going to be one of those you laugh about. I don't know many films which use the technique of using emotion to put across the plot rather than dialogue, which may challenge other media products as they tend to stick with just dialogue to put their point across.

It may also challenge the audience by not making them laugh within the first two mins of the intro, however there are things to suggest that something funny is going to happen on its way.

In the intro, we only see females no males apart from the window cleaner which makes the audience expect to see a superior male, if any, later on in the film. Whether or not this would happen that's another matter.



Our film shares some of the features of Bridget Jones Diary.







Another example of a rom com is 10 things i hate about you starring Heath Ledger.
