Film Inspiration

We watched different thriller films and got inspiration from each of them.
From watching Sin City we liked the idea of the film being in black and white and the only colour being the red dress. From this we are going to have the only colour being the red coat as the person wearing this will be the victim. Using red for the coat shows the connotation of danger and the audience know something could happen to her. This film also inspired what we want for the weather in our film. We wanted to film it on a dark night when the weather is bad maybe raining as this would create tension in the film about what is going to happen. The reason for doing the film in black and white is because we can't garuntee the weather conditions when we film our opening two minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3wq3gLo5Pk
We also got inspiration from a previous year's film where they had a extreme close up of a flashing blue light on some straightners. From this we liked the idea of having a blue flashing police siren at the end of the two minutes. We wanted the sound of the siren to fade out to silent so you can just about hear it in the background.
We wanted to set our film in modern times as we think the costumes will be easier to come up with and would be easier to design.
The setting would also be easier to come up with because they would be easier to find and filming would be easier because if we set it in the past we may accidentally film the cars and the film wouldn't look right. It would also be easier as we wanted to use things such a computer to use facebook and in the past they didn't have these things.
