INFLUENTIAL FILMS. Our film is based on a stalker which was influenced by films such as Cape Fear (Martin Scorsese, 1991), Enduring Love (2004, Roger Michell), The Bodyguard (1992, Mick Jackson). In our opening title sequence we have used traditional thriller conventions which we were inspired by. The use of close ups of eyes was from Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958) and Donnie Brasco (1997, Mike Newell). We also watched opening title sequences for Arlington Road (1999, Mike Pellington) and Brick (2005, Rhian Johnson) where we saw the technique of using extreme close ups of facial features and body parts which we have now decided to use in our opening sequence. We also want to use the idea of using mirrors in our sequence to reveal and introduce the character, as this is a typical thriller convention that has a mysterious and dramatic effect. The way we are introducing the titles themselves was inspired by opening sequences from such films as Bullet Boy (2004, Saul Dibb).
