Influence of Film

What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, you've got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top. - Michael Bay.

We decided to use the genre of Crime for our film. Doing so we discovered the pros and cons of this feature, and decided it was very distinct in style.
Firstly we decided it was very important to establish a plot. The first film we looked at was a film called 'One Hour Photo'. This was a great start as it consisted with the stalker theme, and was a great oppurtunity to start to look at anchorage, camera shots, and style.
The Film 'One Our Photo' starring Robin Williams is about a photographer who idolises a family called the 'Yorkin's'. 'Sy' lives a very lonely life, no family, friends, children. Whereas The Yorkin family seem to have everything, loving caring family. It is only when the main character Seymour 'Sy' starts to nose around thier life that he discovers the lies they live. He uses photography to capture moments.
