Touch of Evil certificate
'Touch of Evil' 1958, is a fine example of a Film Noir: a stark, perverse story of murder, kidnapping, and police corruption in a Mexican border town. By the MPAA it was rated as a PG-13 for some violence and drug content. In further detail, it includes:
Sex & Nudity
Sex & Nudity
A woman is implied to be nude in bed, but fully covered
A car is destroyed by a bomb. You see the driver and passenger engulfed by flames. While this is not particularly graphic, this second part is a little disturbing.
A man is strangled
A man is shot off screen and blood is seen dripping from his body.
Another man is shot off screen with no blood.
Throughout the film there are numerous fist fights in which people are thrown into walls and such.

Mild use of profanity.
A large amount of the plot is about drug smugglers.
A woman is framed (falsely) as a heroin and marijuana addict.
Men smoke marijuana briefly.
A man is an alcoholic and is shown very drunk
Characters smoke in a manner accurate to the period.

There is a sudden close-up to the face of a strangled man (with popping eyes and his tongue sticking out) that is likely to startle viewers.
Even though, our Film Trailer will not include as many of these aspects, we have set our target audience as a 15 because of the use of the Vampire, and as we will also incorporate Horror conventions.
'Touch of Evil' trailer does not obviously include as much intensity as the overall film would, but the beginning scene and the medium shot of the female character dancing on a table in tights creates a representation of a stripper and sexual incorporation.

Influential Figures
Peter Jackson
Even though we've moved on genre-wise to Film Noir compared to the typical Drama, Thriller or Horror, Peter Jackson still remains to be one of the greatest influence to my film making. This is not only because of the popularity he gained through his two notorious trilogies The "Lord of The Rings" and the more recent "The Hobbit", the way he works as a director is something I've taken into consideration, and we also share some similar directorial traits. He pays great attention to detail and shoots extra footage, trying out different angles so he can get the perfect shot. Peter Jackson also don't fail to capture the landscapes of his sets in order to create this adventurous cinematic experience for the audience. My goal is to re-create this experience in my own way, to give the audience something new, something they haven't seen before.
Ben Stiller
Any film that Ben Stiller has directed or co-directed, he always had to act in it. It is only one of his more recent works that have influenced me, but his comedies don't fail to make me chuckle. The film I'm talking about is "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty", Ben Stiller is a director which approaches films on a personal level, he enjoys making films which are different from the typical mainstream films that are typically released. I too want to make content which makes the audience explore emotions which they rarely experience on a personal level. When I approach a film I want to follow my gut feeling for what the film should be rather than following specific genre conventions, therefore through our production process we might draw ourselves back from some of the Film Noir/Horror conventions and use influence from other genres/films.
Hans Zimmer
Every film deserves a good soundtrack otherwise they'd be very plain and boring, Hans Zimmer is one of the composers which influence my approach towards the soundtrack in the production stages. In my opinion Hans Zimmer's scores are flawless, his capability to create high quality hybrid scores make him suitable to score any genre of film.
