The Introduction Of Pans Labyrinth - This is one of the things that has inspired my original idea of using a music box and having close ups of Little Red as she lays dying. It gave me theses ideas in the introduction and the end when the audience watches as ofelia lays on the ground f the centre of the maze dying.
The Company Of Wolves - This film helped me to decide to definitely do a fairy-tale theme and showed me that fairy-tales could make good horror films. The evidence of its inspiration is in the sound of the movie
The Candidate - This is what inspired me to do a film that builds suspense. Suspense is built by cutting between the subjects face and the white tennis shoes, it is mainly built by the feet getting faster, it climaxes when the girl shrugs off her coat and runs away. It also originally gave me the idea to use the sound of a ticking clock, however I later replaced this with the idea to use the sound of a music box instead because it makes it sound more sinister.
In this scene the future victim (in white/has his back to the audience and believes he's being recruited), is being told about the society and that their members wish people dead for other members. in this scene the victim doesn't know that he will be a victim, however during this scene the suspense is built in two ways. The first is that the audience can visibly see that the victim is starting to believe in this society. The second is through sound, for the entire film there is the sound of a clock ticking in the background, this helps to build suspense because it slowly gets louder and louder, it starts out as a slow ticking (like a stop watch) that fades during the narration at the start. There is also the sound of what sounds like a drum and what sounds like a violin/base, they fade out during the interview however all three sound come back at the end of the conversation.
