2. Why?
Vacancy was a big hit amongst our target audience,
so we felt this was an inspiration to our film as the
contents was clearly favourable amongst viewers,
and we hoped to emulate this through our filming.
This film relies on its editing and cinematography to
help create suspense, so we hoped to apply the skills
they used in this film to enhance ours.
3. Similarities
Just as in our film, they have two main characters, a
man and a woman.
The first minute or so of Vacancy indicates a journey
of some sort.
The characters also had different ideas on which way
to go on their journey, just like the characters in our
film.
4. Causal links
You see in Vacancy that they are in a spooky motel
room, and that there chances of survival were very
minimal.
Causal is where the possibility of danger occurring
becomes an inevitability, just as in Appleby Street
when Aimee sees Ben dead. In Vacancy this occurs
when they see the viewing of a killing.
