Influences

The idea has been influenced by other films.
The main concept is quite similar to the film Brick. A teenage based thriller with alot of references to drugs, sex and murders.
This film has been very successful and this could reflect on how popular our project could be.
There are also similarities as there is a very limited role for an adult caste. In Brick there is only one adult characters who does not even help move the storyline along. And in our film there is no adult characters or actors.



This is a trailers for the film Brick, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt Emilie de Ravin and Nora Zehetner.

The opening sequence has been massively influenced by Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. The implied storyline is perfect for a thriller film. It creates a brilliant hook to gain the audiences attention immediately. This is because it shows them just enough to catch their interest.
The quick cuts and interesting images will pull our audience into the film and actively engage them as they will be looking for the clips they have seen.

The opening of Romeo and Juliet is widely renowned as a highly successful opening which reflects the prologue. This is the same technique which we are planning on using.
