Looking at films from the past

Lace maker (1977)

Initial plot (imdb)
Yepok Beatrice is a very reserved and quiet young woman. Her friend Marylene is left by her lover and brings her to Cabourg (Normandy) for a few days' vacation. There, Beatrice, an apprentice hairdresser, meets Francois, a middle-class intellectual. Francois becomes her first lover, but their social and cultural differences get in the way of happiness. -- IMDb Plot: The Lacemaker (1977)

The film is listed as a romantic/drama which doesn't reflect my film but the set up of the story is, being Yepok a quiet young woman which corresponds well with my film, from this film I have been influenced by the-
The quietness of the character
The individuality and quirkiness

Carrie (1976)

I have looked into this film Carrie, I have not yet watched the film itself but from an initial look into the trailer and the plot it corresponds with my film quite well. From the relationship with the mother to the revenge of her fellow peers who pick on her at any chance they can. I can definitely use this as inspiration for my film however my initial response from the trailer is that it is quite cheesy and in my trailer I want to create more of a sense of being alone and keep it away from a school environment as it then becomes too cliche, also my film will be quite artistic with views of the location, which is an influence from the film Submarine and something that Carrie lacks, however so far this film relates to mine the most plot wise and there are definitely things that I can take from this to help me progress with my trailer.
It is an old film however it still has all of the stereotypes of the characters, yet it doesn't give much away about what she actually does to get her revenge whereas I want to show short cuts of the revenge itself so that the audience can see what the film has in store. I also like the fact that they have included her mother into why she behaves the way she does but I don't want mine to be quite as extreme as how they have shown. Furthermore I am going to watch this film so I can get more of an idea of what it is about which can hopefully influence me more with my work.

More detail into my synopsis

Basically the main character is a girl of about 18 who wants to take her revenge on these three girls who are making her life a complete misery and nightmare. She is a very reserved character who doesnt like to speak much but only if she really has to, she spends alot of time alone and doing unusual activities, she lives with her mother who doesnt understand her at all and wants her to become more outgoing. She doesn't intend on killing the first girl as she just wanted to warn her off, however she then realises that since one of the girls have now gone that the others haven't quite picked on her so much and the police don't suspect her initially because they saw her as the original victim. It's only when she murders the next girl; because of a comment that the girl makes that accuses her of being a suspect, that people become more suspicious and wary, the main character then becomes crazed with guilt yet she is not seen as sinister so its for the audience to decide whether she is the actual "bad person". It is going to end with the main character taking her own life as a result of having no friends, being racked with guilt and no support from her mother.
