Inspiration --> Tarantino

The two scenes below from two of Tarantino's films were of particular inspiration to us when planning and developing the synopsis of our opening sequence 'Rupture.'

Kill Bill
The opening sequence of 'Kill Bill' was very influential to us in making our thriller seqeunce as the first thing we see is a restrained, battered, moaning woman. The torturer then comes in yet you only see his boots walking towards the victim and hear his voice so his identity remains a mystery to the audience. This makes the scene much more enigmatic leaving the audience wanting to watch the rest of the film. My own film shares some of the key themes of this scene e.g. Vigilante characters, revenge, torture etc.


Reservoir Dogs
The torture scene in 'Reservoir Dogs' has a lot of similarities to our sequence 'Rupture' and was particularly influential in 'Rupture's early planning stages. Reservoir Dogs shows a battered cop in a chair central in a room which is very similar to aspects in our thriller. The chair is used a pivot for the camera so there is more emphasis on Mr. Blonde's actions. The irony of the music also makes the scene much more watchable but at the same time highly disturbing.
