Research Dossier of Technical Deceit

UK FRAUD NEWS

In Technical Deceit fraud is massive part of the story that surrounds Damien Blake the theatre director. It involves money and the way he goes around doing his business.
In this article it talks about the amounts of money that went missing from a CEO. This links in very well as Damien is being investigated for the same reason as the CEO.
This also links in well with what goes on in the story as it is theatre based. Again money being the big factor in this. 


BIRDMAN

Birdman is a good film to link with Technical Deceit. The story follows Riggan Thomson, a faded Hollywood actor best known for playing the superhero "Birdman", as he struggles to mount a Broadway adaptation of a short story by Raymond Carver.



In this clip it shows the director of the play/actor Riggan going mental about another actor in the production. It seems like he doesn't have full control in what is happening on stage and off stage from watching the whole film we know he isn't in full control of whats going on and news articles end up criticising him on his work. This links very well with what goes on with Damien as the newspapers find information about him and build up on him the way they do with Riggan.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Phantom of the Opera is a film based in a theatre just like Birdman. It also got made into a play so its performed in a theatre. The Phantom would be compared to Dave as they both keep an eager eye on whats going on and also they try both try to hidden away from people. They both also spend most of their time in and around the theatre.












BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO

This film works well with some of the elements of Technical Deceit. In the film there is a british sound engineer Gilderoy who links well with Dave as he works on the sound in the production, setting mics up listen in to what Damien has to say. They are both treated with disrespect as well from other colleagues around them and don't get noticed.
