How has The Wrong Trousers influenced your short film

How has The Wrong Trousers influenced your short film?

The Wrong Trousers has elements of film form, narrative, which has influenced my short film; also the genre at times has influenced my film.

Firstly, the cinematography within this film has influenced mine as ranges of mid-shots are used to show the mise en scene to promote realism at times. I also did this in my film so the audience could establish the genre by the use of props, which have an iconography of every day items. This establishes a drama as it closely links to everyday life. Additionally, my film has also been influenced by the dialogue used in The Wrong Trousers, for instants the main characters in the wrong trousers do not have any speech, I took this idea as well as I wanted the drama to unfold in visual codes rather than the audio codes.

Secondly, my film has been influenced by the enigma codes used in this film, this is because my film also takes the idea of having plot twist. In The Wrong Trousers a enigma takes place by revealing the secrete identity of the character of the penguin, my film uses this idea by building up tension and revealing the character emotions later on which had a huge impact of mood and tension in my film. Furthermore, I took inspiration from The Wrong Trousers and decided to withhold information on what character was who which lead to a plot twist at the end. Just like the wrong trousers, this is an effective way to intrigue the audience, as they have to play close attention. I did this by using a range of long shots and close ups or shots that didn’t particularly show the characters face to create confusion amongst the viewers.


The Wrong Trousers, takes on a range of genres however the elements of drama within this short film influenced mine. For example, the idea of Gromit not getting any birthday presents expressed in an on going shot reverse shot. This sense of realism is also shown in my film when a long shot is used walking down the road and ect.

Trainspotting opening scene analysis. Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy, that is directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle, and Kelly Macdonald . The film is based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh; the film was released in the United Kingdom on 23 February 1996. In the opening scene of trainspotting we see Renton and spud running down the road, the camera movement and music merge together to match the action on screen. The music immediately starts playing once we see a low angled shot of our characters feet; this could link to how upbeat the characters lifestyle in their opinion. Furthermore when we see the car hit Renton is could be double meaning as throughout the narrative he talks about having a career, so, the car could signify the barrier of drug addiction that stops him having all the stuff mentioned. the positioning of the two characters could suggest that Renton is alwa

Buster Keaton: One Week, The Scarecrow, The High Sign, Cops Buster Keaton tends to use long shots to encourage the audience to look around the frame to see the joke, they allow an appreciation of the gag. Close ups usually follow up from this to show the characters reaction. He also tends to shoot face on so he is centre of attention. Keaton does this to highlight the idea that he is the joke and considered a clown; this tends to follow through on most films. In Cops there is a scene where Keaton is depicted in the foreground trying to take nap, a deep focus is used to show us that the city is unfurling in the background. Yet again Keaton is placed in the middle of the frame, this allows the audience to see how interacts with the chaotic and mechanical world. This is a very iconic use of cinematography for Keaton, as he tends to prefer to get everything in one frame, this is because editing in the 20s was considered as deceiving the audience. The sets used in Buster Keaton
