Pre Production - Inspiration - Films

During pre-production we looked at several films under a similar genre or with parts that could relate to our ideas. These films included the 3 Bourne Films as well as No Country for Old Men, Creep, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Birds, we looked these because of the great variety.

We needed to ensure tension, suspense, excitement and concern was present whilst maintaining the “edge of your seat” factor. All these films had attributes we were interested in.

No Country for Old Men was to be looked at not due to gore but to do with suspense and tension as well as a clever storyline. From the beginning the film has the audience focuses and involved, along with the violence included this was a style of film we wanted to incorporate into ours as we felt it was successful in a way such as we wanted our film to be.



Creep was chosen simply due to the enormous tension created with the jumpy atmosphere and the soundtrack used in the trailer interested us more, as we wanted to create something that would encourage the tension.



Texas Chainsaw Massacre was taken as it is a classic and almost simplistic gore film with a nail biting plot, with many graphic scenes we could not re create it made us realize what we could and couldn’t recreate for our film.



Although the Bourne films are not of a similar to our genre of film they contained chase scenes that could be analyzed as to why they are so successful and then used to influence our chase scene.
