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

One way in which our media product uses forms and conventions of real media product is through the 'How I Met Your Mother' opening title sequence. We found one of the openings for the tv show on youtube and really liked the idea. We thought that showing the night out of the characters in our opening sequence through a slideshow of stills would be a good way to get the message through to our audience. We took the idea and developed it further in our own way using iDVD. if it was to be compared to the origional from how i met your mother it wouldnt look as if it had been used for our idea. Thats how different the two were. At first we thought that it wouldnt be possible to complete but then we managed to follow through with our idea with lots of challenges. Our media product developed the origional idea from how i met your mother and turned it into an idea of our own in a way. The stills slideshow made our title sequence look more unique and varied. We challenged the origional 'how i met your mother' title sequence by showing it to our audience in a different way. Also we didnt use it as the whole thing as it can be repetitive and boring but we used it as part of our sequence.
