Evaluation of Finley Harnett's Research

What have I learnt?
From Finley's work I have learnt that its not only films that help grasp the importance of the opening sequence but t.v shows too. Finley used the political thriller 'Homeland' to help him understand title sequences a bit more.
By providing a clip of Homeland it not only helped Finley but gave me a better understanding as well. The program is known as a unconventional thriller, we know this just by watching it and that it creates tension making us want to watch on. Homeland seems to be quite realistic with some of its story lines however they have been exaggerated out to make it more exciting and intriguing to watch. The use of fear within the opening contributes to the thriller and creating the 'audience on the edge of their seats'  Linking Finley's research with mine thrillers use similar codes and conventions such as quick, choppy editing which could connote vulnerability or tense scenes.
Overall Finley has done some great research and it has given me a much wider understanding of opening sequences and what to include within them. Also you don't necessarily have to create a conventional Thriller, just like Homeland.
