Influences – how have the short films that you have studied/researched influenced your own production? Be specific, think about use of camera, music, titles, structure, narrative etc. What else has influenced you other than short films? News story? Personal incident? Inspiration week?
I personally feel that our short film “Confined” is very original and unheard of. As a group I don’t believe that we gained much inspiration from short films and other media texts to create this idea. I would say that we possibly was inspired by Rubber Johnny created by Chris Cunningham, I would suggest this as we used a lot of fast paced cuts re-creating a glitchy effect which was used in the short film/music video. Shane Meadows short film “The Stairwell” was an inspiration when creating mood and tone of the fears used in our film. “The Stairwell” is dingy, gloomy and contains low-key lighting. After watching “The Stairwell” I believe that this was a definite look that we wanted to achieve and re-create within our dramatic fear scenes.

When creating the sound track we was hugely influence by an artist called “Adele” and her track “Hometown Glory” As a group we decided that the piano chords at the beginning of the track would perfectly set the scene and would be informative for its audience as it represents the main character “Sean’s” personality. Instead of using the instrumental of this track we decided to record it via midi cable connected to a piano and then manipulate it by adding new sounds and slowing down the chords.
