There were many influences that helped us toward many aspects of our film, once the story had been created we thought we would use certain influences within our film , this led to the research below.
(Note: This research is shown in an almost bullet point fashion explaining a reference and what influence it ha within our film, this will not at all be detailed due to the shear quantities of research and themes that share common aspects of with our story)
Shutter - Shutter has an overall theme of photographs within its plot, with how the photo being destroyed determines how the person dies
The Ring - The ring makes use of the idea spirits an people can get trapped within things such as photos and films, for example the creature being trapped within the VHS and the television, this inspired our idea of people disappearing once a photo had been taken of them.
Native american indian belief - that photos used to steal a part of the person that was within them
the third man, white heat - These two films both make use of the black and white aspect within their films to make them seem more mysterious and unusual
The painting in the witches- Within the film "The Witches" there is a painting that a member of the family seems to randomly appear within suggesting people are trapped of contained within paintings and photos
Ghost paintings in films (The haunting) - This, more of a generic comment, suggests that ghosts are trapped within paintings and photographs and have eyes that watch you, suggesting there is still something within them. Spirit inside the camera used as a familiar
Dorian grey - the picture of Dorian grey suggests that things that happen in real life happen to photos or paintings of them suggesting that they or a part of them is trapped within the media and is affected by things.
Old timey police photographers -
The others, photo albums of dead love ones to remember them.
BlowUp, peepin' tom takes photos
Nightcrawler - ethics of taking photos
Horcrux's - fragments of a persons soul attached to an object, this suggests that a persons soul may be trapped or attached to that of a photograph
