Knight and Day Similarity

In our film, a girl drops her files and the main character goes down to help her pick them up. At this point, the audience doesn't see that the girl steal the main character's phone because it is revealed later on. This is similar to a concept used in the film Knight and Day starring Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruz. At the beginning of the film, we see the two characters bump into each other twice, and we don't suspect anything until later on in the film when the truth is revealed. This time the clip is played back to Diaz's character from CCTV footage, and the audience sees Cruz's character slipping something into her suitcase the first time, and taking it back out the second time so that he could get it through security. 

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging Similarity




At 06.33, the sequence that follows the conversation between the characters is very alike the opening to our film. 

Our main character is first seen having an argument with her parents. The parents can be seen talking at her, but she is not listening because she has zoned out. This is similar to the sequence in the video above, except that instead of a narrative playing over the top of the video to represent the character's thoughts, we will have music playing, with the credits showing on the screen while the main character is retreating to her bedroom. 

 

Another similar part of our film from "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" is the 'embarrassing mum' character as you can see in this video from 2:55 minutes onwards of how her mum embarrasses her infront of the boy she likes. We like this idea as it is typical of a teenagers life and it is included in our film as our main character is fed up of her mum embarrassing her.

This advertisement gave us the central idea as it is all about "jumping to conclusions" and seeing things differently depending on what you are actually able to see. This is the main focus into our film .
