As You can see these two images are very similar, this is my inspiration for the door scene. After watching the flight plan, this scene in particular had a lasting affect on me because of the horror on the actors face. I felt i could portray this in my film for a different reason. In The Flight Plan the women's horrific face is due to not being able to find her daughter, whereas in my scene, the wives horror is due to her husband catching her as she is about to escape from her abusive marriage.
Although the abuse shown in my Film is very different to the abuse you see in "The Burning Bed", i received much inspiration from this film. Because this story was also based on a wife being abused by her husband after marrying him. I made sure there were definite changes in my movie from "The Burning Bed" over wise i would simply be copyrighting. For example, in "The Burning Bed" the wife murders her husband, whereas in my film, the wife is still suffering abuse from her husband. Furthermore the abuse in my movie was a scar, whereas in "The Burning Bed" the abuse was bruises and injuries.
My Door Scene was inspired by this scene in "The Burning Bed", when i saw the mans face, i knew from this moment onwards something bad was going to happen. I was overwhelmed by this feeling and felt the urge to portray such a strong message in my scene. I believed that if i ended on this scene then the audience would be left in suspense to what will happen next, with the grooms face embedded in their minds.
Here is the abuse scene, my inspiration once again came from the film "The Burning Bed". When i watched the film i was blown away by the abuse, and how the man held the power in the scene, i decided to bring this affect forward to my abuse scene. As you can see the husbands body language shows he has the strength in the scene, he is blocking the wife from view, showing she is not seen as a whole person, she is powerless against the abuse she is about to suffer.
I was inspired by the film "sleeping with the enemy", the way the vicious husband had such a hold on his wife's life. In the above scene in particular, i love the way the mans face appears strong and invasive, and how the woman's face appears timid and scared, i feel i have portrayed this effect in my film well.
For my Wedding scene, i was inspired once again by "The Burning Bed", the way the newly weds appeared so happy, and then, everything changed suddenly. Its almost as if the minute the wedding dress has been removed and the ring placed on the woman's finger, the husband feels he controls her, i wanted to portray this feel in my film. The contrast between happy times to the present day.
