A lot of our inspiration came from a variety of short films, for example 'The Camera' reflects the narrative in our film. This inspiring short tells a story of a young girl who discovers a boy hiding away in her photos. After he disappears from her images, she too decides on joining him in the photographs by taking a picture of herself. This is similar to our film, where our character is trapped inside the painting.
The location used in this film is also very similar to the locations that we will be using, such as, the girl in 'The Camera' finds herself wondering around in a desolate peaceful house in the middle of no where; we have also planned on filming our short in peaceful, quite locations to give an insight into how our character is feeling.
Additionally, in this short film there is no character narration throughout the film, and after watching it, we felt inspired to also experiment with the same idea by encorporating it into our film. It is evident that in this short that having no narration works very effectively as it enables the audience to piece together character thought and emotion. However this means that we are going to have to accurately plan some background sound, just like they have done in 'The Camera'.
This is good contextual research. You should continue to do this at each stage of filming and editing, and poster design.
