Influences

We have three films that have influenced our group film idea: Taken, Colombiana, and Salt.

Taken

Taken is the first influence to our group film plot. This is because in the first part of Taken there are a group of bad men that take the two girls that are on vacation to Paris (a big City). The Dad of one of the daughters hunts them down and kills the bad men. This relates to our film plot because there are a group of men that are telling a man to do something that he doesn't want to do. Also the main character is hunting down a man, similar to the daughter’s father in Taken.

Colombiana

Colombiana is all about revenge, we see Colombiana’s parents get killed by a large group of bad men. Because of this we see Colombia want revenge on the people that killed her parents, therefore she hunts them down. The influence that this film had on our plot is that it is one person hunting people down. This create adrenaline and tension, making is a very good thriller. We also had an influence from this film because Colombiana’s uncle is very protective, just like our main character is with his son.

Salt

Another influence to our plot is the Thriller film Salt. This is because in this film Salt is trained to be a secret spy by a man in Russia. She is then expected to kill thousands of people. She is given the task and is expected to complete the task. However, she does not want to do this, and in the process her husband is murdered and she has to leave her normal life. This has influenced our plot because the main character is expected to murder a man he doesn't even know, just because he has been chosen to do the job, similar to Salt, also he has to leave his family at home.
