1. I n what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real medis products ?

The ways in which i was able to portray the similarities in conventions to various other gangster texts,(which i attempted to make as clear as possible), through my tiles and the ways in which they are printed upon the typical gangster conventions of cigarettes, alchol cards, guns and poker chips. All of which connote the gangster genre. I feel that even though i have used these conventions i developed upon this idea with the subtle change in the genre to have the tile printed upon them. I added the special effect of making the film black and white in order to make and fit in with the idea that this film is dark gritty and mysterious. My use of loud and fast paced non diagetic music added to the excitement and helped to build up the Adrenalin for the audience as they sit on the edge of there seat. Within the film snatch there various scenes which are slowed down to emphasise the impact of people being hit or killed so i incorporated this convention within my piece and feel that it worked well. The fact that i started the film with lots of action and excitement is also a typical convention within gangster films as it gets the audiences engaged and excited for the rest of the film.
