Conventions and Non-Conventions

In the first five minutes to the opening sequence on 'I Am Legend', I looked into the conventions and the non-conventions. I looked into the conventions and the breaking of conventions to a typical sequence on the start of a film. For example, at the start of I am Legend, there is shown a recording of a television programme which is related to the news. The producers have tried to show a sense of verismilitude.

Here are the conventions and non-conventions which i picked on during that short time.
Conventions:
- Exposing the story to the audience
- Characters
- Enigma
- Different racio in the screen from the effect of the news channel to the present day
- Post medern talking
- Establishing shots

Non-conventions:
- Exposing of the characters
- Nothing to interupt the film. For example, there are no titles or the names of the main actors to break up the film and almost break the way in how the producers wants the audeince to feel so involved in the film and make it as real as possible.
