In our AS production film "The Betrayal" we found that because of our genre 'Crime Thriller' we had only one recent, up-to-date film to refer to and that was "The Taking of Pelham 123" as it was the only film we could find within our genre.

The establishing shot in the film is a shot across the city with the sunset showing through the buildings. We tried to apply this to our production although in ours it was shining through the bushes due to the setting we have chosen. This worked really well and as you can see by the screenshots below, they are very similar.
