This is the first question asked to evaluate! Now, it's an interesting question and one that is best answered by simply writing about it! There's not really much else I can do, other than reference parts of my media and evaluate them!
This question is a good question for me, as the whole point of my film was to challenge the conventions of narrative in a film. That's what my film does, it's about the challenged life of a disabled person and shows some pretty awful things happen to him. Not an average film, a very unconventional story line. However, it is quite 'developed' as there is a lot of conventional narrative in it. There's a Protagonist, Antagonist and even a love interest! Very basic, essential parts to a film. So, it's quite an interesting way of using forms and conventions, by partly sticking to the conventions so it attracts a modern audience, but also straying away in some form, so that it makes people think and it's different. By being different, it means people remember it, which is exactly what I wanted!
As for what I did in regards to filming, camera shots, etc, I stuck mainly to conventions! There's no extreme angles, no ridiculous cuts, etc... Everything is very conventional, as the story is so unconventional, that by making everything else the same, it would simply be too confusing! So, that's why I stayed fundamentally conventional.
In regards to my ancillary tasks (poster and website) I stayed very conventional in the design and effects on them. They're basic, eye catching and put across the feeling of the film! Both the website and the poster do this. They stay conventional, as if they're confusing and different, then an audience aren't going to know what they're looking at. Conventions are there because they generally work best, so sticking to them in the advertising is best. If not, they don't advertise properly, so people don't know what they're looking at.
So, there's my answer to how my media product uses, develops and challenges conventions!
