Book excerpt: "The first film series shot as a continuation in the history of cinema is the Sherlock Holmes films shot shortly after the invention of cinema. This series, which started with Sherlock Holmes I (Viggo Larsen, 1908), continued until 1910 with a total of 6 films produced by the same director. "Making a sequel wasn't something Hollywood used very often until the late 1970s. With the development of popular culture, the number of applications for sequels has gradually increased; With the Oscar for The Godfather, a 1972 Francis Ford Coppola movie, the sequel of this movie was also encouraged" (Göral, 2003, p.105-106). There are many elements in the concept of visual continuity and they are all interrelated. In films or film series that are described as sequels, establishing a visual integrity relationship between films comes to the fore. The concept of the sequel appears in two ways. Sometimes, while the ideas are scripted, the story is divided into more than one part. Sometimes the story is planned as a single movie, and after a certain time, it can be realized as a follow-up movie/films for different reasons. In both systems of expression, it is necessary to seek harmony between all elements of visual design. This research aims to include analyzes that examine sequels, serials and trilogy on the axis of cinematography and narration"--
