Film Inspiration

For the opening sequence of our film we got our main ideas from 'A mothers son' a three part drama series on the BBC, it showed a young girl running away from something. we loved the dark spooky feel the scene gave off, they used clever camera shots, such as a distinguishing shot to establish the surroundings, it made the character seem very alone, but as if someone was watching her. The scene is dark, filmed at dusk. She is panicked, for ours we want Thomas to feel this way and realize how alone he is and how far he's gone. For our opening we want a shot of the surroundings and how they might make someone feel if you were there alone, feeling trapped in such an open and vast space.
This is the Video showing the opening sequence of the TV drama:

For the woods shot our inspiration came from a sequence that i suggested from the film 'Hide and Seek' it shows a young girl running away hiding in the woods. While watching this we felt on our toes and terrified for the girl, anxious for her well being, we want our audience to feel the same way when they watch our scene that is slightly similar in style. If you watch this video then it shows the sequence at 2:00 minutes:
