1. FILMS THAT
INSPIRED MY FILM
IDEA

2. PROJECT X
Project X (201 2) is an 1 8 rated film that was based on a true stor y that was
about when 3 high school senior s throw a bir thday par ty to gain popularity in
school as they are seen as outsider s.
The film is of comedy and crime genre as it has elements of comedy but the
law enforcements were also involved through the film.
It was directed by Nima Nourizadeh and it was actually his debut film.
The inspiration I will get from this film is the way they throw the par ty in the
film is how I would like my character s to do so but this par ty will be of a
lower scale as there will be no alcoholi c drinks at it will be all sof t drinks.
The idea of them tr ying to gain popularity from the par ty goes well with my
idea as this will be a plausible reason for them to throw a par ty that doesn’t
necessarily meet the standards for the popular kids.

3. SUPERBAD
Superbad (2007) is a 15 rated film that is about two high school senior s that
are desperate to be popular as they have been isolated away together
through elementar y school but before they leave for college they want to
throw a booz ed full par ty that doesn’t go to plan.
The film is of the comedy genre this is vital as I am researching on comedy
films as they will help the quality of my film opening.
It was directed by Greg Mottola who directed the science fiction road comedy
film.
The inspiration I will gain from this film is the opening as it is dependent on
the dialogue as it sets up the rest of the stor yline through a conver sati on
between the character s as they talks about ever ything in a small amount of
time. Then it shows them getting isolated from the so called popular kids
they are not invited to a par ty.

4. THE HANGOVER
The Hangover (2009) was the fir st film of a trilogy that has been one of the
biggest grossing comedy franchises. The movie is about three buddies who
have a bachelor par ty in Las Vegas, with not knowing what happened the
night before. They lose their friend and they go around the city looking for
him.
The film is of comedy genre and it is in the top 10 of grossing comedy films
which will help me with my filming as I can get a lot of inspiration from the
film.
The film was directed Todd Phillips who also directed the other two films of
the Hangover trilogy and he helped produce the film Project X.
This film gives me a lot of inspiration as the concept of them not knowing
what happened the night before will help me with the plan of my film as that
something I wanted to include in the plot.

5. THE INBETWEENERS
The Inbetweener s Movie (2011) is a 15 rated movie that is about four socially
troubled 1 8 year -olds that go to the par ty island of Malia for a holiday.
The film is a movie adaption to the ver y popular British comedy T V sitcom
Series ‘The Inbetweener s’.
The genre of this movie is vital as I need to analyse movies from the comedy
genre as they can teach me lot of dif ferent techniques in how to set out our
props and locations etc. This will also help me get the comedic value out of
the opening as I can.
The film is directed by Ben Palmer who has helped direct over popular British
shows like ‘ Bo' S elec ta ’ and he was par t of the producti on of The
Inbetweener s T V series.
This film will help me set out the per sonality of the character s that I use in
my film opening as in this film the character s per sonality var y as they all add
dif ferent comedic value to the film.
