Inspiration...

          After deciding on our genre and then choosing our sub genre, Post Apocalyptic.  After finding our specific genre, I wanted to look into other movies that have a similar genre to ours.  The first movie I can think of is A Quiet Place, which I think is a good example of where we want to take our short film.  From IMDB, A Quiet Place is referred to as "In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing."  I think this movie is really good inspiration for our short film because it doesn't have a lot of dialogue.  Not only does this show how they are alone with just their family, but that they have to stay in constant sound "hiding" from these monsters.  I like the implication of the loneliness, and Klaus and I want to include something like that in our film, especially since we have never  made something like this before.

          Another movie that I want to take inspiration from is I Am Legend, as this movie also plays off the lonely factor with just the protagonist and his dog.  There is more dialogue in this film and not a monster but more of a deadly virus that spread in Humans, causing them to be similar to a zombie.  Even in the movie poster, there is only the protagonist and his dog, further exemplifying the loneliness factor that is prominent throughout the whole movie.

          A lot of the Post Apocalyptic films that I have been researching are focused on titles pertaining to the film, so I think Klaus and I want to start thinking of titles having to do with being alone.  I think once we have a title, we'll be able to research different characters and be able to further our story research more before writing a script for filming.
