What Friends thought of Rupture?

This is a selection of quotes and things mentioned by Friends and Family who watched 'Rupture':

'The Cinematography is excellent, but the acting really lets it down'

'The music's really powerful, like a heart beat and really build's tension'

'The black and white makes it look like a thriller like Sin City'

'The blood looks really convincing, but the male actor doesn't look scared enough'

Thriller DVD cover inspiration

Here’s the cover for ‘Scarface’. The reason I’ve picked it out for inspiration is because it is very simple, yet iconic. Similarly this DVD Cover for the DVD special edition of ‘A Better Tomorrow’ follows a similar style. I would quite like to use something ‘pop arty’ like this for our final DVD cover.

Directing Inspiration - tarantino

Tarantino
Tarantino I felt has been a huge influence upon our project. For instance the opening to kill bill was the original inspiration for the opening of Rupture. Here we see woman lying on the floor, battered and bruised. This is followed by the entrance of a male character. But we do not see him. As the audience we are only allowed to see his boots, gun and hear his voice. This builds up suspense for the rest of the film, where we are left wondering who he is.


Reservoir Dogs was also a huge influence when thinking about hostage situations. In the hostage scene the hostage's chair was used as a pivot for the camera. This means that the victim seemed stationary and thus vulnerable, while the torturer walks around him. As well as this the playful style adopted by the torturer, also inspired us as in the film the torturer seems alot more dangerous
