Reserach

I must find films and compare them and talk about how they are similar to the same motto as my short film. My motto is journey.

Lord of the rings trilogy

I have chosen this as one of my films that I feel is similar to my short film because it is the same motto as mine in many ways. People may think that lord of the rings is all about fighting and heroship. But in fact there is a journey to it. This journey is with Frodo and Sam who are hobbits that lived a peaceful life in the shire which they had never left the entire time they had been alive so far.

Their journey begins when they are told to take the ring to mount doom which involves them traveling into lands they never have stepped foot in or even knew existed. This is similar to my film because My charcter "Matt" doesnt go out, he just plays xbox. However one day he decides hel go out of his comfort zone and try something new. This is exactly what the hobits feel as they leave theire home town on the way to mount doom.

 The inbetweeners movie

This movie also has a very strong link wih my film because if you have followed the TV shows of the inbetweeners then you will know that Will, Simon, Neil and Jay have never been on holiday abroad just to go clubbing and boozing, which is a common thing people do at that age. But in the movie they all decide to give it ago, You can tell they are out of theire comfort zone about this when you watch the movie, but yet they still do it.

This links strongly to my short film as before because of the characters going out of their comfort zone and doing something new which is exactly what Matt does in my film.
