There are similarities between the varies medias as well as with my opening sequence. Firstly, both crocodile and the rhythm section both have two strong female leads in their media texts, even though one is a hero and one is arguably an anti-hero.
Also both Drive and crocodile are partially about going on a ‘killing spree,’ in the interest of their won motives. In ‘Crocodile,’ Mia’s motive is that she needs to cut ties with all the people who know about her being an accessory to murder, and includes the person she committed that murder with. Whereas in ‘Drive,’ he is killing people who are a threat to him and the ones he loves. All of the medias share the theme of violence in their narratives one way or another and all are of the same genre: action thriller. Also, the last of us and crocodile are similar, as they are both set in the future, and both have a layer of fantasy to them for example Zombies and advanced technology. I think they are all in the same genre, as they are all tense and have elements of mystery to their storyline as well as violence. It therefore makes all of the mediums a thriller and it appeals to the target audience, as the target audience for these films tend to be male adults, who often enjoy watching action films and films that are dark in theme.
One major difference between the different medias is that the last of us involves fighting zombies as well as people, which do not exist. Also All media texts including the last of us has strong female leads, except Drive, who’s main character is a man. Also, all of the mediums except the last of us involve one person killing many people, with a motive behind it e.g revenge protecting from being exposed, whereas the last of us is about multiple people killing others, and there isn’t really a intricate motive except to survive.
