Films similar to ours

I began researching into other films that are similar films to ours to give me insight into what we can include for ours.

Polaroid
High school loner Bird Fitcher has no idea what dark secrets are tied to the mysterious Polaroid vintage camera she stumbles upon, but it doesn't take long to discover that those who their picture taken meet a tragic end.

This film is very similar to ours in its story line as the main character both find an old polaroid camera and have it as the main plot device. However the overall conventions of our film differs to this one as we are going for a mystery thriller approach rather than horror. Whereas Polaroid is more horror-esque in the way it is presented as the characters die one by one with the camera compared to our film where they are only trapped within the poster.

Schindler's List

The narrative of this film is set in a a German-occupied Poland during World War II, Osakr Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazi Germans.

This film is also similar to ours but this time not in a narrative way, but similar in Mese-en-scene and cinematography and also the stylistic choices it has. This is because we are making our film a mix of  styles such as Schindlers list as it utilised both a film noire and black and white style giving each scene many connotations surrounding colour, which is what we intend to do for our film.

Memento
The narrative for this film follows a man who juggles searching for his wife's murderer and keeping his short-term memory loss from being an obstacle.

Lastly the final film that I found was similar to ours was memento as it uses the narrative device of photographs and tattoos forefront in the film. We wont be using tattoos as a narrative device in our film however photographs will be also be a large narrative device in our film which will be used to inform the viewers of the narrative in a subliminal way.
