Influences on our film

There are several influences from other films that we have used in our film.
One of the influences was a trunk shot that is used in Quentin Tarantino films, such as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs

Trunk Shot from Reservoir Dogs

Trunk Shot from Pulp Fiction

Trunk Shot from Kill Bill

Another way in which our film has been influenced from another film is that our characters were somewhat influenced from In Bruges, in that our films contain two criminals - an older, more experienced criminal and an incompetent rookie criminal, similar to In Bruges.

In Bruges contains 2 main characters - an older, more experienced criminal and a rookie criminal, these are similar characters to the characters in our short film.

Another influence in our film was the short film 'Pitch Black Heist' in that it also contains 2 characters, is based around a heist and that the audience cannot see the most important part of the film.

Pitch Black Heist's dominant criminal is similar to the 'boss' in our film. The most important part of the film is where the heist takes place. Because the place where they're breaking in to has alarms that detect light, they have to perform the heist in darkness. Because of this, the heist is shot with no light.
