Our media product uses and develops conventions of real media products. The real film conventions (exposition) of real media products: establish time, setting, character(s), narrative and conveys enigma. Our film opening introduces the setting of London immediately simply by the wide shot of South Bank’s bridge in London, the audience immediately become aware of the setting as well as the diegetic sound of the people in the town. The time period and of Running on the Cracks is established the effects of the diary at the beginning typewriter and the Mis-en-scene also contributes to revealing the time period to the audience by the use of  costumes and props. Leo is depicted as a rebellious teenager and her costume/attire are casual and is of course modern- hoodie and black jeans subverting to many stereotypes Hollywood Blockbusters portray of teenage girls being “girly” and fashion obsessed. The rucksack (prop) used is rugged and even containing holes although this is for fashion, it adds to conveying her rough situation of leaving home. We established our protagonist Leo, through tracking shots of her journey through London. The opening scene begins with a close up of her shoes as she sits on the floor and a coin is thrown at her feet communicating her situation rough situation and how she appears to the society/public.
