Initial Research

Influences:

The Bourne series:

The idea behind Bourne, is that the main character is an anti-hero on the run, but has nobody to turn to. We want to use this idea in our film. Our main character (Jack) has witnessed a crime but can't tell anyone because he is also a criminal. He therefore has to try and find out who the people chasing him are, and put an end to their criminal business before they kill him.

Taken:

Taken is about a group of people that abduct girls on holiday, and force them into the sex trafficking business. We were thinking of using a similar back story for the main villains in our film. Jack would have to stop them before they claim their next victim, which in turn could spark up a love interest between Jack and the girl.

Kidulthood:

Our film could potentially be set in East London, and gangs, drugs and street violence would play a significant role. Kidulthood shows gang culture and the problems faced by youth in London. We could use some of their ideas in our film.
