Influences
In preparation for our filming we watched various movies and took inspiration from these. The first movie we watched was Casino Royale. From this we took the black and white effect for the movie opening, the reasoning behind this was that we liked the gritty realism that the black and white created. It removes all flash and sparkles from the scene and makes you focus on the gritty nature of the shots.
The second film we took inspiration from was ‘Tinker Tailor Solider Spy’. From this we looked to extract realism. No Hollywood chase scenes just real life again the gritty nature was somethhing we wanted to replicate.
The final film was ‘Drive’ which is where we got our violence level from. We saw you could make a stylised movie with a high violence level at it be successful.
