Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Had the pleasure of watching Girl with the Dragon Tattoo alongside Mollie & Yasemin on Friday afternoon (thanks Miss Foster!).
The film was brilliant, so intelligently shot and pieced together; there were quite a few scenes that we'll definitely be using as inspiration for some of our shots. Although the direct plot of the film doesn't reflect our own idea, there were many elements that pieced the story together which do fit in with our own. The obvious fact that the film was originally created in Swedish (using English subtitles) helps us get a sharper idea of how to use language and subtitles in our favour during our opening. The consistant use of nervous cigarette inhaling relates perfectly to one of the scenes in our opening - so we'll be using that as part of our research. There's also a couple of flashbacks used in the film, so studying how the effect was used in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will come in handy with one of our scenes!
The line "Everybody's got secrets" caught my eye instantly - the quote mirrors one of the main themes that ties our idea together exactly.

Can't wait to attempt using the flip to film HD shots of cigarette smoke..

Here's the trailer for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo:
