Similar films/film sequences

Paid In Full
This film is about a young man from the Ghetto, forced to cope with the 1980s drug scene who then builds an illegal empire, only to find out that a Family member gets kidnapped as a way to get revenge back from an unsuspected person. The way in which this film is similar to the one we are going to be doing is the fact that someone is kidnapped in order to get revenge for something.



Similar theme is that the person who has kidnapped the family member is unknown.Comparable scences that can be seen in both this and our film include the facial expression's made when being kidnaped, in both we try to create an anxious enviorment using groans and facial expression's which hopefully allow the audience to feel certain emotion's.





On the other hand, although the shot below is alike in the sense that is is a kidnap scence, as a group we chose to make our lighting darker in order to create mystery & secrecy which a slight light glare to sybolically suggest that he has a slight chance to make it out alive.


Phone Booth


This film is about a man who unsuspectingly picks up and innocent looking phone to find that he is under control of an unknown man who has a sniper rifle aimed at his head due to the fact that the captee has lived a good life but had trampled on other people to get there. The reason in which this is parallel to our film is the fact that in our film it is the phone call that is the start of our characters demise.

In addition, in both of the films the character become confined as a result of a lueisurly stroll/walk round there native area to find that they have been watch and are destined to be caught in a unfortunate turn of events were they will be powerless to prevent it from happening.

The reason for the screen shot below is becuase it portrays a scence where he realises how serious the acuring events are and is in an intense state of panic, this can be seen by the distraught face of the actor which allows viewers to experience his distressed emotion. After watching this scence as a group we decided that the kidnap scene would be fundamental in order to make the audience sympathise and acces the emotion of the charater via the facial expresions made and we feel that we achived this in our film opening.
Harry Brown





The film Harry Brown is about an elderly ex-serviceman and widower looking to avenge his best friend's murder by doling out his own form of justice, the way in which he achieves this "justice" is through a kidnapping in which he uses various torture methods, the is includes ideas that we are going to include in our films because there will be scenes of torture.



Out of all the film this film is most like our film, this is becuase it shows kidnap scence, torture scence and the reason why the person in it is kidnapped is due to the fact that he has done something to anger his capter and has to consequently pay the the consequenses.



The video below show the kidnap scence which is crucial in both there and our film:
