Thriller films which have inspired me on my film.

Throughout my life I have watched many thrillers, in which many have came together to inspire me with my filming project.

The first film that has helped inspire me is 'The Bourne Ultimatum'; this is because the protagonist is on the search for information about a corrupt organisation, and on his search obstacles stand in his way which must be overcame, such as assassins and agents. Therefore this has helped me pursue the idea of my protagonist being in search of information.

The next film that helped to inspire me is the Da Vinici code. This helped to inspire me due to its sense of conspiracy, religion, and mystery. Therefore its helped me in my production, as its given me the idea of a secret corrupt organisation, due to religious beliefs, which has been covering up secret which the protagonistis in search for. 

Then the final films which have helped to give me some inspiration include 'seven', and 'walk on the wild side'. This is because of the intro of film, which has helped me choose how to place and show the opening credits, as well as how the camera angles and object will be shown.
