Inter-textual References

A key text that has inspired the idea for our film is 'Kill List', the plot for this film is about the control of a cult and the toll it takes on the main characters lives. The reason for choosing this film to inspire our choices is because of the effect it had on myself when viewing this film. The discomforting feeling that I felt inspired myself to create a film with the same intentions, in the aim to get a similar reaction when viewing our thriller opening. The aim for our thriller opening is to make the audience want to keep on watching and therefore by creating an unnerving opening inspired by a dark storyline, will hopefully achieve this. There a re specific details from Kill List that we plan to use, like the cult symbol that is used within the film. I like the simplicity of the symbol and the mystery behind it. I think this symbol will be easy to re-create and will work effectively in our film.



A film genre that have inspired our choices in our thriller, is film noir. When editing our film we are likely to change from colour to black and white with the intentions of creating the same effect that film noir creates. The reasons behind film noir is in refelection of the 'cold war' time period that it was made, ideas of mistrust, bleaknes and fear are strongly evident in the genre, to represent the dark time period in society. Even though our film is set in modern-day society, the aim of our film is to highlight the dark, dismall and frightning place the world can be and the power and control that bad people can have.
