We are mainly using director Robin Hardy's "The Wicker Man" as inspiration for the short film. The movie is going to be centred around the pagan holiday 'Samhain', pronounced 'sah-win'.
The iconic large wicker statue that appears at the end of the movie was (reportedly) used by ancient Druids for human sacrifice by burning it in effigy.
Our movie will follow quite closely to the plot structure of the Wicker Man. At the end of the movie, it ends with the protagonist, Sgt. Howie dying at the hands of the pagans who live on Summerisle, the movie's setting. In the short film that we are creating, the three characters will die at the hands of the pagans who live on an island close to Bangor in Northern Ireland.
Howie is led to the island in order to be sacrificed, rather than to find a missing person like he thought, and the protagonists in our short film will be led to the island to meet the same end, rather than going to film their Media Studies project.
