The two feature films above, Alfonso Cuaron's 'Gravity' and Kubricks '2001: A Space Oddeyssey' provided us with a plethora of visual inspiration in the planning process of our film. As we obviously could not undertake any visual primary research, all of our inspiration had to come from secondary sources i.e previously existing films such as these. We found using these sources particularly insightful, particularly when creating establishing shots, as it was important for us that we created a realistic, life-like representation of outer space, particularly in terms of scale and lighting aesthetics.

Above, some similarities can be seen between Gravity, A Space Odyssey and our production, especially in terms of the scaling and minor details such as the slight level of atmosphere around the earth. However, we decided to take the aesthetics slightly further by adding a starfield around the Earth. We felt that this would enhance the cinematic/dramatic aspect, although not necessary being representative of the view from space.
