• Sherlock- Several shots from the show such as the Shot of John at the cemetery and the shot of sherlock on to of Barts have influenced my film, as i am planning to use two shots not unlike them in my short film.

I’m a big fan of Baz Lurhmanns films and have

taken inspiration from his latest film, The Great

Gatsby. I will try to create a ‘party’ scene in my film,

not unlike the scenes from the film taking place at a party, using

bright colours lights and sound.

(post modermism)

• Post Modernism is another aspect i’d like to use in my film, a great example of Post modernism is ‘The Simpsons’. I will take inspiration from films such as The Great Gatsby and TV shows such as Sherlock and try to make scenes look like theirs and place them in my film.

A good Example of post modernism here showing ‘Bart Simpson’ recreating the

Nirvana album cover.

I want my costume to be very modern. Currently ‘Band shirts’

and t-shirts showing their favourite TV shows or quotes

they love are popular. I want to use these as they show a

background to the character, and show how comfortable

teenagers are with their likes and dislikes, compared to when the mother and father were the age of the teenages. I want the parents to be wearing clothes

that make them look uncomfortable, for example

work clothes, almost uniform.

BLUE•The Background of my mood board

is blue, which is also relevant to the film. I want the colour to be apparent throughout my film (using chroma key in the black and white scenes). The colour blue and pink are apparent throughout the film Happy Go Lucky. And Red is very strong throughout the Baz Lurhmann film ‘Moulin Rouge’ (The colour is even in the title). Ive Decided to use blue as i feel it connotes hope and happiness, a key emotion to my film.
