LO2 Inspiration

1:

The Artist Script, Is a Silent film that is based in the right era that we wanted to emulate. this script also had a lot of scene description to make the film flow. I have seen this film and highly enjoyed it.

The short film Unwind, Inspired us in the creation of our short film because of the raw emotions in the film, which was created by very quick transitions and the music in the short film.

The short film 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice, by Alfred Hitchcock, inspired me because of the old fashioned look of the film, which is because the film was aired in 1961 and will use this as a reference for the finished look of our film and the language style of the era (even though the released was slightly later).

The shot film 'Sight' inspired us because of the subtlety of disturbance created in the piece, that isn't fully realise till the end of the film when the main actor wipes the main actresses memory at the end of their date. The disturbing nature of the film really inspired the first draft of the ending.

5:

The script for the Radio Drama 'The Sound Barrier' inspired us in creating our script because it gave us a good example of naturally flowing dialogue between characters and this helped us with styling the dialogue to fit our films genre.

Treatment

Film Title: The burning Candlestick.

Film Length: 

I would prefer to make the short film approximately 5-7 minutes long. This is because it is within the timeframe given in the brief.
