Metropolis- Film inspiration

I did some research into a 1927 German expressionist film called 'Metropolis'.

 "Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia, and follows the attempts of Freder, the son of a wealthy intellectual, and Maria, a worker’s daughter, to overcome the vast gulf separating their two classes. Metropolis was filmed in 1925, at a cost of approximately four million.The film was met with a mixed response upon its initial release, with many critics praising its technical achievements while deriding its simplistic and naïve storyline. Due both to its long running-time and footage censors found questionable, Metropolis was cut substantially after its German premiere; large portions of the film were lost over the subsequent decades."- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(film)

As mentioned above, the film used a lot of special effects and technical alterations, with a simple story line, which I think may be a good idea for our fashion film. Special effects would be something that we could really play around with as they are notorious of the sci-fi genre.
