Both Clouzot inferno and Split share great similarities to the main traits to our film. Clouzot inferno focuses on the aspects of colour and the use of coloured lights to project emotions into the scene. Split is a film about a man with multiple personality disorder who has captured people as he battles his other personalities.
Clouzot inferno:
The film throughout used “practical lighting techniques by Andréas Winding and Armand Thirard. Most notably in the psychedelic climax of the film, rotating lighting rigs were placed in-front of the actors. The final effect created the illusion of the actors faces transitioning between emotions, and personalities. They would also slowly change their emotions [amplifying] the effect when synced to each rotation”. This use of coloured lights to amplify emotions is very similar to how our films final visual effects should turn out; however, we will use far more vivid and intense colours and will keep the set up still, because we are trying to achieve a projection of emotions on to the room, which then reflects onto the actors to create a deeper, more subconscious effect for the viewers. We might consider using the moving light technique because we can utilise the effect it creates to our advantage to amplify certain scenes and moments in our film.

Split:
This film shares great similarities between the villains of each of our films. The villain in Split also has dissociative identity disorder, but has evidenced 23 recorded personalities to his body.
The plot for the film is:
“Though Kevin [villain with DID] has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, there remains one still submerged who is set to materialise and dominate all the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the wilful, observant Casey, Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him - as well as everyone around him - as the walls between his compartments shatter apart”.
The main character is a little too extreme compared to our idea. However, the concept of having a man conflicted with himself as if he has two or more people in one body, each personality defying the other, stands very similar to our concept of a villain. In Split he kidnaps those girls as a result of a conflict with his personalities; the same applies to our villain concept. We might use aspects and traits of Kevin’s (man with DID) behaviour to adjust and fine tune our final representation of our villain.

A specific concept I really liked about Split is how they also integrate flowers to their movie. In the trailer one of the girls points out that the flowers in the room and toilet have a meaning. This got me thinking about more ideas and how i can integrate the roses better into the story. I will integrate theses ideas into the movie, it makes me want to make the movie far more psychological. Therefore I will ingrate the roses in a psychological way and give them a meaning to the story.
Both Clouzot inferno and Split share one very important similarity, which is they both are aiming to engage the viewer’s emotions through visual effects on screen. For example, in Split, as Kevin shifts through his different personalities his looks and behaviour dramatically shift. He wears different clothes or adjusts his face and body posture in different ways. In Clouzot inferno, they use coloured lights and positioning of lights to project a range of different emotions. Where the director positioned the lighting can drastically change what emotions where projected on the actors face. Using all the points above we will fine tune our characters and lighting idea to make sure we get the most engaging result in filming.
