We chose the genre thriller as we had a number of favourite
films that were thriller which was what inspired us to do take on this
challenge in the first place. Our main film which inspired us the most was the
movie ‘Taken’, in this movie it shows a lot of human trafficking which we
thought would be a good an interesting idea to add into our own movie. We also
like the idea of the girl in taken being kidnapped and used as a sex slave,
however we changed it up a little and made it so the girls in our movie were
drugged. Making them collapse and hallucinate so that the men could take them
and sell them for hundreds of pounds. We thought this would make the audience
really tense and worried for the girls but not too scared that it could be
classed as a horror.
We also took ideas from the movie ‘Trade’ which is very similar
to taken but slightly different, we decided to combine the two and our own
ideas to create a really serious and exciting film. This film also gives a
message to others implying that you should never take things that strangers
offer you as you do not know who they are and what they have done to the things
they give you.
We chose the film title of ‘Surrender’ as we thought it
really outlined and represented our film extremely well. We felt that making it
one word gave more of an effect and would make the audience wonder, wanting to
know more. In the film the girls have no choice but to surrender as they are
unknowingly knocked out and taken by men.
In our film we decided to use really creepy and gloomy music to really emphasis what is going on and make the audience feel scared and worried for the girls.
