Film 1: Gone Baby Gone From the votes casted, we can see from this film that overall more men enjoyed this film especially from the category 18-29. This is probably due to the attractive female character involved in the film which is why this film is predominantly voted for by men and more importantly the young age. Film 2 : Taken  This film is totally dominated by male voters due to the film including a lot of attractive women especially a sex trafficking scene in the film but also the involvement of car chases and gun and knife crime violence making the whole film more enjoyable Film 3: The Purge  From this chart we can see that due to this film not including an attractive female characters the male votes have dropped whereas the females have increased but not dramatically and this film suits more of the younger viewer more because of the shear brutality  and violence throughout the whole film Overall What i have learnt then from these films is t

Film Influences My idea of film may not have been chosen for the final product due to its complexity but there are many films on the market which have influenced my idea and how I came up with it   The human centipede influenced me due to the character involved in this films.The doctor who creates the centipede is someone who is mentally sick and has a crazy obsession a bit like my male character who has a crazy addiction of beating up young innocent women and burying them alive to rot and fester and gets kick and thrill out of it. Furthermore the shear horror and brutality in which the way the actions are done is what influenced me for a crazy sick film.  Finally the second film that influenced me was the call which also inolves a torture scene in an underground basement however this time the killer is found by two women who decide to lock the killer in the underground secret basement to get a taste of his own medicine and die alone and alive in a small confined space

FEEDBACK FROM 6 FEET UNDER POWER POINT NEGATIVES Bar/ restaurant is a problem as we need to ask if we are able to film outside it Digging the hole will be hard as we cant dig a random hole in a field as it is classed as illegal Will be hard to do it as I will be dark with no street lights and we cant film with no light on the characters as it is impossible to see POSITIVES Really well thought idea with big ambitions and a great story line as well as having the idea well planned out however the film is just to hard to make due to the number of restrictions
