There were many different trailers and films that influenced us in making this film. But one that stood out was the trailer for a video game entitled 'Dead Island', as the whole trailer is backwards and in slow motion; with a calm piano instrumental recording in the background. This calm music is a big contrast to what is actually happening in the trailer - as it is very violent.
Another big influence is from the film 'The Shawshank Redemption'. Tommy (a very aggressive character) is trying to do an exam and he runs out of time. This makes him extremely irate and so he screws up the test and throws it in a bin shouting and screaming at Andy (the main character, trying to help him pass his exams). This scene, although not a vital part of the narrative, is quite hard hitting, and we wanted to try and shock our audiences with an aggressive character, such as Tommy.
These two scenes were the main influences of our film, and helped us shape our film into what you will soon see.
