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

In summary:

Juxtaposition - Smiley face to mood of characters, like the cat was in juxtasposition in the film 'Way of the Dragon' to Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris.

Active/handheld camera - Like in Kill Bill, specifically the fight between the bride and Vernita Green

The non diegetic music - Generic of most 70's and 80' kung fu classics and even some films from this day and age. Kung Fu Hustle (stringed instruments), all the Bruce Lee films, Mortal Kombat (the gong)

Sound effects - the effects used for punching and fighting are in many different kung fu films, Way of the Dragon, Fearless Hyena, Drunken Master etc...

Noir - The noir style hasnt really been used together with the Kung Fu genre but I felt it was a good stlye to use and that it went well.

ECU - The extreme close up of Pauls eye was inspired by the work of Tarantino and the same fight in Kill Bill mentioned earlier, right before the fight in my film begins.

Ghosting - The ghosting effect isnt normally issued in Kung Fu films, more in the action genre say after a bomb has just gone off, but i thought it was appropriate to show how effective that final strike was.

Narrative - In terms of narrative this film is similiar to many Kung Fu films, where the bad guy kills somebody which leads to a reaction from the main protaganist. This happens in the Fearless Hyena. It also holds quite a Todorovian plot, where, the protaganist is Ok at the start, learns about the death of his brother (paul) and then goes out to seek revenge. This narrrative is regurgitated over and over again in Kung Fu cinema.
