Juno

My Sisters Keeper
Directed by: Nick Cassavetes
My Sisters Keeper shows the lives of the family of a girl suffering with leukaemia and the battle of her younger sister, to sue her parents for using her organs for her ill sister. Drama.

Music Video, Montrose by Man Overboard
Directed by: Mel Soria And Brendan Walters.
This music video depicts young love, with a middle aged couple running to where they spent their teen years and slowly getting younger as they run, before spending a night dancing and singing at a faireside as they did when they first fell for one another.

The films we have been inspired by are mainly romantic, or dramatic films. Our film contains teenage elements of young love, as in Juno, as well as the winter setting, as in Love Actually and The Holiday. Though our storyline and plot are not based on these films, we took elements from each, such as settings and themes as we believed they were the best to use with our plot.
