This list will be updated as we progress through our production, and will show the films and existing media productions which have influenced us throughout.
Trainspotting - Cold Turkey Scene
We wanted to pay homage to this movie, as it is a popular and well-known example of Social Realism, and also will help to link the theme of drugs and their effects to our production.
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas - The Boy's Bond
This film shows an extremely close bond between two boys, without too much physical touch. We decided for this reason to avoid too much physical comfort between the boys, as holding hands, hugging etc reflect romance more than strong friendship.
The Shawshank Redemption - Strong Bond Between Two Men
We were inspired by this film due to its effective portrayal of a bond between two adult males. A strong emotional bond between two adult males is surprising difficult to come across, most likely due to the danger of the audience assuming that their relationship is homosexual rather than simply a close friendship. However, we feel that this film portrays it fairly well, and so were inspired to look at the ways in which they show this bond.
Close-Up - Trailer Music
The soundtrack of this trailer is a good example of emotional background music, and we felt that the use of the slow tempo and gentle wave pad sounds were effective in creating emotion within the trailer. We decided to look further into these kinds of sounds, and felt the part where it uses a beat and guitars was also extremely good for the atmosphere.
