Sources I Took Inspiration From For My Film

Sources I Took Inspiration From For My Film.

When planning my film, I watched and studied many films and television crime dramas in the style of Film Noir. I felt this would be helpful as I could draw inspiration from them, as well as get a better understanding of the genre. Our teacher recommended us films like Fallen Angel, Blade Runner and Sin City. I listened to this and as soon as I got home I watched Sin City and took into account all the codes and conventions used in this film. I also noted the lighting, colour palette and costume design, as I felt they were quite  interesting and useful and whilst I didn't shoot my film in black and white, like this film mostly was, I did use a similar colour palette for my poster. 

Another film that our class studied and even watched during lessons was Ridley Scott's  Blade Runner and later the (at the time) newly released sequel Blade Runner 2049.  I enjoyed both these films and admired the dark, dystopian future they portrayed. I particularly enjoyed the set design of these films, as well as the costume and lighting effects.
