2. Our scenes at the beginning when our male character is
washing his hands is extremely similar to the scene in
Aviator where Leonardo DiCaprio is washing his
hands. This scene shows both characters in the
different pieces washing away some sort of guilt which,
in our piece, helps to build tension as the audience
wonders what the cause of the guilt is.
When our female actor walks through the trees
towards the bench it is extremely similar to a scene in
Skins when Effy is walking through the woods. In both
pieces it helps to build suspense and also almost helps
the audience to sympathise with the character as you
get the impression that the characters are slightly
vulnerable.
3. Our title is practically
exactly the same as
popular war movie
Black Hawk Down. The
title helps to convey the
end of the suspense and
the start of the mystery,
as the film begins. In
both pieces the title is
extremely powerful
which gives a strong
impression to the
audience, encouraging
them to continue
watching.
The quick cuts we use as
the suspense is building
before the hanging is
similar to the quick cuts
used in Psycho to help
build the suspense before
the girl is stabbed in the
shower. This is effective in
both pieces as it builds
tension before the
shocking final shot. It also
helps to make the final
shot more powerful.
In our final shot the our female character steps off the
bench as she hangs herself. When she hangs herself we
have put a similar sound in, of the breaking of her neck,
to the sound used in the hanging sequence in True Grit.
This enhanced sound makes the shot more shocking
and powerful, in both pieces.
