All four of these similar products researched in the previous post, all contain a cast mostly of men as they aim to depict the life/ lifestyle swell as stories of the mob/mafias. These insights into organised crime are all generally similar with violence and depictions of vast wealth and power within the crime underworld. All these examples are reflective of the same conventions included in my group and I’s opening sequence.
These conventions appeal to the target audience as it is something that is usually unknown to the public, the depth that some of these texts go into is very interesting to audiences as it's an unknown world that is historically accurate, this caused curiosity, especially in this case with the amount of power and wealth these individuals had.
The elements that are different with my sequence from the similar products are general the plot, as this is about a double crossing in the mafia with an MI6 agent and how that plays out as the opening sequence is a cut forward to show the assassination of that character. Secondly some of the products such as Lilyhammer are about a mobster on the run, this differs from the plot of my opening sequence.
These products have all inspired elements I would like to integrate into my opening sequence as they are all the same genre and share a similar narrative and theme, some things I have picked up through this research include some camera techniques that allow to Convey key connotation within the sequence As Well as some editing techniques, this will I feel have a big impact in conveying certain conventions that help to feed the target audience genre and other expectations that ultimately will help sell the film.
