Conclusion of reasearch of similar products

Overall, both our production idea and the productions of ‘Line of Duty’ and ‘The girl with the Dragon tattoo’ convey similarities. They all fall in the thriller genre which we can use to our advantage to gain some inspiration in terms of our opening title sequence. Having our film contain the convections of the thriller genre will be to our advantage as it will draw in a better, more targeted audience. We can use close up, shot duration shots and place them in a montage like in ‘Line of Duty’ to help exaggerate the thriller atmosphere and to create tension and action for the audience. The dark undertones that are used in the opening sequence of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ can also be used for inspiration in our opening title sequence. However, there are also differences portrayed in our opening sequence idea compared to the movies that I have researched. The female character in ‘The Girl in the dragon tattoo’ defies all gender stereotypes and in our production idea, the female main character would conform to the typical female stereotypes in terms of aesthetics. Although, their characteristics suggest similarities in terms of personalities. In terms of comparing ‘The Girl with the dragon tattoo’ and ‘Line of Duty’, in ‘Line of Duty’, the entire concept is about taking down criminals whereas in ‘The girl with the Dragon tattoo’ the plot follows a woman hunting down a missing girl which shows how all thriller movies can contain main convections yet differ in plot and styles. In conclusion, I can take inspiration from both these films in my opening sequence to make it more visually appealing and to comply with the thriller genre.
