Quentin Tarantino - Director reference

Our director influence is Quentin Tarantino. This is a strange style of direction for our genre, but because it's a modern take on a classic theme, Quentin Tarantino's style would be appropriate and unique.

Quentin Tarantino's films are based on historical context and culture, for example: Inglourious Basterds (WW2), Django (Black African slaves in America) and Kill Bill (Japanese ninjas). He creates alternate realities to what we expect to see, making it unique and more interesting. He is also very revealing in his films. In Inglourious Basterds and Django, he doesn't hesitate to show what their attitudes and actions were really like back then and goes into graphic detail and deteriorates from typical movie techniques and styles.

Ignlourious Basterds is based in Nazi occupied France. The film follows the Basterd's and Shosanna Dreyfus' individual plans to murder the 4 Nazis of the Third reich. The second World War is a very emotional and fragile subject; however Tarantino focuses more on the violence and sadistic reality of the war, which isn't what you'd expect to see in a war film, but it's not unusual to see as he broadcasts the sort of antics that would be kept hidden from history, such as a group of blood-thirsty Jews with a taboo name scalping German soldiers. Although it's not common knowledge this happened, you can relate to their hatred, which creates an alternate reality that's never been experienced before, making it unique.

Our film is a modern fairy tale, but typical aspects of fairy tales are not included within our film, such as a happy ending, the hero being the female/damsal and the modern and taboo language used by the characters. However, to combine old fashions with modern, there are parts where typical, cliche language is used between the mother and Ella which is also a typical fairy tale aspect that an encouraging parent is involved. Lastly, following Tarantino's style in more detail, we've been very realistic regarding
