Inspiration

This is a film about a taxi driver who becomes obsessed with killing a presidential candidate, but then goes onto violently save a very young prostitute. We took the idea of a person becoming obsessed and adapted it into our product. If you look at the film opening below its very slow, and tries not to give much away, until the end when it gives away some of his details. We plan to use this format to try and make the audience guess what’s going on.


Taxi Driver is a film that which watched to try and gain inspiration for our media project. It is a psychological thriller, on is about a taxi driver in New York who plots to kill a presidential candidate but ends up saving a young prostitute.



Fight Club is another film that we took inspiration from. It contains a very deep and cleaver storyline. It focuses on a character with insomnia and feels alienated from the rest of society. He seems to also become obsessed with this idea of a fight club and going to support groups, which make him believe he is getting slightly better.



What we took from Fight Club was the idea of making our main character feel alienated from the rest of society. Also to trying to show her way of dealing with it compared to the fight clubs. So we put the music star in the place of the ways Fight Club portrays. The ideas that we took helped to give us different aspects to our night character.
