My research started off by looking into popular 1960's British films. I searched through film books and also found a great website, IMDB. This website is a movie database that contains pretty much every film; it gives an overview, cast list and loads more additional details about each film!
The first film I watched was The Ipcress File, and was brilliant; ideas were popping into my head throughout the film. I still have a long way to go before my final design but I already think I could create a really nice poster with this film. The film is similar to a James Bond type plot with double agents and mysteries. (colour)
Repulsion was another film on my final list. Its a very strange film about a young Belgian girl who suffers with androphobia (a fear of men). I personally thought the film was really psychological in that the girl ends up going crazy in her apartment, murders two men, has nightmares of being raped and even imagines male hands coming out of the walls! I'm not sure whether I want to use this film as part of my series; but I have taken notes and I will review all the films I have watched. (black and white)
The Servant I found to be a very strange film. I didn't particularly enjoy the film and I don't think it would really appeal to a modern day audience. Again this film is slightly psychotic, with Barrett (the manservant) playing serious mind games with his master, Tony; eventually resulting in the "master" and "servant" roles exchanging. (black and white)
still to watch:
Alfie (original)
Loneliness of the long distance runner
Fahrenheit 451 (get from the library)
If
Blow up
And the Bonds (not sure yet though as a lot of people have seen them, and my aim is to try and reinstate unwatched/ less well known film to a modern audience):
Dr.No
From Russia with love
Goldfinger
Started creating and finalizing final Body Shop idea. Go round Olis next week, sort out final idea after a crit!
