A Level Media Studies

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? USE I followed a lot of conventions from a typical documentary. Firstly, I included interview scenes, this is because many documentaries have interviews in them and by including them in my documentary, it helped make it look more professional.
