With regards to conventions within media products, there is overall generic conventions which can be applied to any media product. The generic conventions allow individuals to easily identify what the product is and its purpose. But if you are wanting to delve deeper into the analysis of conventions, you will understand that conventions will essentially vary between genres, thus forming genre conventions. This is when conventions are based on the genre in which the format belongs to rather than the format itself.
In terms of the 3 media products I have created: A music video, a digipak and a magazine advert there exists, generic conventions which I will identify in the table below.
I can then compare my own texts to the generic conventions shown in the table above.

In summary to these findings, I am happy with how close I have kept my media products to both generic conventions regarding what is physically on the media products, and also genre conventions with how I have followed my specific music genre of Drum and Bass along with purposely incorporating elements of social realism to give these products some moral standing. I did find that, however, with drum and bass only really just emerging into mainstream culture, The boundaries of conventions have not fully been set due to lack of publicity and awareness.
