Openings that inspired us

One thing that inspired us was the trailer for the blair witch project video from youtube. The Blair witch project trailer inspired are storyline for the opening because we like the idea of the thriller genre and also the storyline in the actual film is based on a group of film students who disappeared, we can relate to this because we are media students so it relates to us in a way. However we didn't want the film to be entirely based on horror/film and so we found some inspiration from attack the block. 

The attack of the block film trailer includes a gang of teenagers located in London that tries to fight away aliens. We were inspired by this film trailer because we are also from London and so we can relate, another reason why is because of the gang in the film. A lot of the time us teenagers are stereotyped because of the clothing we wear and we would like to portray this stereotype through mise en scene which was used in attack the block (the gang members wear hoodies and dark clothing). In attack of the block there is also a 'robbing scene', people getting robbed is just one of the horrible things that happen in society and we also want to show this in are film because we think its important for people to see what is happening in society today and so we will include a scene of someone getting robbed or attempting to get robbed.

We were also inspired by a gif from attack the block. The reason why we were inspired is because of the movement in the gif. From this gif we decided that we will have a chase scene in the opening scene because not only does it build up tension but having it in the opening scene would excite the audience and have them thinking about what happens next.
