Documenting of influences on production

I picked up a video camera and really fell in love with making videos let alone films, which was the first real step into the film business. Prior to that I was absolutely in love with movies from a young age, I never thought about it as a career but when I picked up a camera I thought "is it possible" and I just started experimenting from there. Here are some things that have influenced me to make the film I have made:

Director - Steven Spielberg

Undoubtedly one of the most influential film personalities in the history of film, Steven Spielberg is Hollywood’s best known director and one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world. Spielberg has countless big-grossing, critically acclaimed credits to his name, as producer, director and writer.
He sets himself to be a good role model, as we aim to make our film as good as his.

Location – Highgate cemetery

Using this location was convenient for us to use as my associate and me came up with the script, even though we could film in any cemetery, we felt as if this one stood out. The cemetery has a big location; we can get many types of shots in.

Films

Grave Encounters, involves a lot of horror, me, as the director of ‘More Than Human’ believed that this film is marvellous and we should follow the steps of it, if not, surpass it. There are a few other films such as REC(2007) and The Blair Witch Project which include tremendous scare scenes, chases and more, these films inspired us and influenced us to direct an action film, the almighty ‘More Than Human’.

We have a broad range of films we’re working on. We like to do a film, if you take for example ‘More Than Human’ that is a film with a very specific demographic. We really wanted to make a film that pleased that younger adult mass and I am sure I will score incredibly high with that audience.

Photoshop/Sony Vegas

With regard to Photoshop, it enabled us to create magnificent poster and magazine covers, something other software’s couldn’t offer us. We used Sony Vegas to edit our trailer; we have found this software very useful as it provided many editing tools to the footage.
