I think by providing a pinterst board gets the images across to the viewer so eveyone can visualise simular understandings of what Robert and myself want to base our film on. The images selected are focused on action/adventure films with simular costumes and props that we want to include in our practical work. These ideas may change but are still very helpful on giving us development ideas for our film!

 

For our practical task , Robert and I have already decided to create a short film. We have began to briefly brainstorm some ideas relating to the sort of short film Robert and Myself want to make. Our ideas are based around action based films that have caught out attention.

To help me get even more motivated and inspired for the short film , I decided to have a look on the IDMB website for the top 100 greatest films of all time , which many consisted of action movie genres which is what myself and Robert have decided to base our short film on.

Batman The Dark Knight
Rank #4 : 2008 ‧ Crime film/Drama film ‧ 2h 32m

 Batman The Dark Knight is an incredibly successful action/adventure film that consists of incredible soundtrack , stunts and violence directed by an excellent director. The film made over 1 Billion dollard at the box office and is one of the most successful films of all time. I am specifically impressed about the action scenes in this movie as they are aimed for reality and are not fake comic book based fighting. 




Inception
Rank #14 : 2010 ‧ Fantasy/Mystery ‧ 2h 28m 
Director : Christopher Nolan
Again this film is by an amazing director 'Christopher Nolan' which has created a unique outstanding fantasy film where a thief has the rare ability to enter people's dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious.



The Matrix
Rank #18 : 1999 ‧ Fantasy/Action ‧ 2h 30m 
Directors: Larry Wachowski, Andy Wachowski
This film is great because Because if you take away all the narrative elements and visual effects which are excellent on their own, you are left with a question that is always there but never asked, you question your own reality which is incredibly innovative of the directors to come up with that plan for the film to get the viewers thinking.


 

Even though this is a music video , we were shown this in class for inspiration. This music video was very popular in the 1980's. The video involves stop animation which in most peoples lives , looks old and dated due to the lack of advanced technologies at the time. This music video still proves amazing outcomes can be made.

As I have decided to make a short film  , I think it is very important to get inspirations and ideas of what is expected from successful short films. From researching them successfully , I can then make decisions of what short film route is the best to go down and which Robert and myself can be most creative with.
