1. We have chosen Requiem For A Dream as our inspiration towards
out re-make of Ecstasy due to this film having the same theme as
our own. This film successfully shows drug taking and the side
effects of using drugs in a way which we do not class as cheap,
which is how I would describe our way of showing drug use in our
first version of Ecstasy. Successfully trying to show drug use without
making it really cheap and obvious to create more suspense was
hard, however remembering the film Requiem For A Dream and the
way the director shows drug use, in such a snapshot, way with
different sound effects and lighting than the original film, makes the
drug use seem completely different to usual day life, which is what
we wanted to achieve as a group. Being inspired by Requiem For A
Dream really gave us a chance to work in styles of different directors
and widened our shots we made and how they were completed.
This film had relevance to what we wanted to display in our
film as we needed to show the negative effect of drugs, however in a
more Horror like way, which is like the theme of Requiem For A
Dream as the reason behind the film is the negative effects of drug
addiction, like our own theme.
