The first film we thought of was 'Sin City'. In this film, the primary aspect of it is the black and white style, with certain, vibrant colours outstanding. These colours might be a colour which describes a characters personality. However, we couldn't have the intended single colours, but we kept the inspiration of the black and white theme.
Our second film which gave us inspiration was Flemming's 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. Here the inspiration came from parts of the story line. The idea Flemming uses of a split mind or schizophrenia, helped us influence 'A Widow's death' - the Widow suffers from schizophrenia, which we see in the first scene with the diary entry. If we were to carry this film on, the theme of schizophrenia will be shown throughout the rest of the film. we took this aspect of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' to show how the condition can drastically change peoples lives.
Finally, the third film which greatly influenced us was 'Sherlock Holmes and the hound of the Baskervilles' directed by David Attwood. The way Attwood has set this film gave it a spooky feel to it which we liked very much. Therefore, we wanted to include this in our film. We chose a church which was a very spooky feel to it and a lot of of gravestones in its yard. Aswell as the influence from the spooky, eery feel from 'Sherlock Holmes and the hound of the Baskervilles', there was the aspect of the character Sherlock Holmes, which we would base a detective character on in the rest of 'A widow's death'.
