Wim Wenders created a dance experimental documentary entitled 'Pina', which I was shown a trailer for in a specialist workshop class. I noticed a clip of a girl in a white dress on a rope, which is a very similar concept to my own film, and decided to research the dance and found it was from a piece called 'The Here and After'. The character runs around on the rope trying to get away from the restraint, to represent personal struggle. Later, a dark figure shovels a black soil substance onto her, ruining her pure white dress - the darker parts of life are taking over and she struggles to get away. This again represents how she is being controlled by the factors around her, which is very similar to the concept in our film.
At first I was upset that our idea seemed to have already been done in a way, particularly visually and in theme, however it made me realise that this could be a big inspiration instead - it shows our narrative will work. Although some of the basic visual elements are similar, the location, cinematography, editing and sound will be very different anyway.
