The media form we  created is a film title sequence.

Conventions are almost like symbols that are recognised in film due to their style, form or content.  For example conventions in a thriller may be guns (prop). This could be through technical terms also, such as lighting, camera angles and sound.

Conventions are important because they give meaning to media products, as they give you what you would expect from a particular genre. This helps an audience distinguish whether they would like to see a particular film.

Directors or producers might want to challenge conventions in their films, to break stereotypes, by challenging certain representations of groups. For example in a thriller, it could be the male that is seen as vulnerable, instead of the female character.
