Inspiration

After watching many different films, trying to watch predominantly physiological thrillers as this is the genre we have chosen for our two minute opening. Our teacher told us about a film called 'The Bone Collector' which has a taxi scene. This interested us as we will also be using a taxi in our opening. The taxi scene in this film helped us gain some inspiration for the effective shots we can use. I especially like the shot of driving past the rubbish in the road and we will also try to include some creative shots.

  


This film was made in 1999, and was given an age 15 restriction. This will have to be kept in mind while thinking about the rating for our film. We would also have to keep in mind the time this film was made. During this time period, it was much stricter to what the youth could watch however now its much more lenient as the barriers have been pushed and we have become desensitized. Due to this we could maybe put the rating lower depending on the BBFC requirements.


We also gained inspiration from the film 'Taken' which is a well-known psychological  thriller. As this is a more recent film it gives a clearer outline of the conventions used in this genre that we will use or develop in our opening.  It is also a age rating of 15 so will give us a a better idea of what our film would be rated at along with the use of the BBFC website.
