Similar Scenes for Inspiration

Here I have found some scenes from films that are going to help with our opening sequence research. I decided to look at these three as they all have something that is similar to our idea and can be used as inspiration and help us with ideas.



This scene is from 'Casino Royale' and I am looking at it as I can relate certain points that we will want to include for our bathroom scene within our sequence. I'm specifically looking at the way he washes his face, the ECU of his hands in the basin with water and himself looking in the mirror.



These scene is from 'Drive' and I am looing at the beginning in particular because I like the way in which it is filmed, especially close-ups of his face and it has very subtle transitions which I like and the building of tension. I can also look at the mise en scene with this to compare and see what we could possibly use as it's a common look for motel rooms.



This is from 'No Country for Old Men' and I am looking at it as the bathroom is very similar to what we want to create and the room also has little details that we want including the TV, lamp and framed pictures.

Films that are similar to our story

All of these films have similar stories. They all have the theme of a person being on the run either hiding from the law or the 'baddies'. Like ours it is usually a man who is in his later 20s early 30s.

The Next Three Days
Law Abiding Citizen
Taken
Mission: Impossible
The Fugitive
The Bourne Supremacy
