Influences (Georgia Harris)

The film Vertigo directed by Alfred Hitchcock (Master of suspense) (1958) gave our group a influence in a sense of suspicion and suspense that we wanted to portray in the making of our film, in majority of his films they all base around psychological thrillers and work around the audience feeling clueless as to what is happening and a constant feel of suspense and a feeling of what now?
We feel that our film is also based around 3 main ingredients similar to those used in Hitchcock's films, such as suspense, suspicion and confusion. Always focusing on making the audience wonder what's going to happen next and why.




Another film that influenced our trailer was Red Eye directed by Wes Craven (2005).
This film was an influence by it portraying that sense of the plot having a twist to it, expecting the unexpected in a sense that the main female character in Red Eye didn't expect to be put in serious danger by a fellow passenger on her flight, so the the action starts from the twist in the story. This reflects on the plot for our trailer, in the sense that the audience aren't expecting the story to unfold in the way it does, creating a twist withing the least expected in the way that Wes Craven does in this film.
