One of the biggest influence of our film was Buried. Buried is a film about a man who is working as U.S truck driver in Iraq after an attack he wakes up to find he has been buried alive. The only possessions he is left with are a lighter and a mobile phone. This influenced our film in which we wanted to have the person being took to be attacked and then wake up to find themselves in a small room on themselves, with the only possessions they have within that room is a mobile phone. The story line is very similar to ours, as it is also a race against time to escape this death trap or he will be left there to die, this was a big influence on our film as we thought this would be a good way to make the storyline a lot more interesting as the audience will be aware time is running out making them intrigued as to what is going to happen and also feel tense throughout the short film.
One of the other influences in our film was The Social Network, in this film there is an element of greed within a friendship which ends up leading to one of the friends betraying another to get what they desire. We decided to use this theme as it is important factor that the friend would betray their friend to get what they desire the most which in our film is a large amount of money.
The title sequence that influenced us is Gladiator. This is because of its simplicity however even though it is very simple the title sequence still allows the audience to know the genre of the film. The music on this title sequence also is quite dark and eerie and allows the audience to fully understand this film will be a thriller/drama film. The music especially has inspired us for our music in the title sequence and will try to get similar music that has an element of darkness.
