Portfolio Project: Pre-Production - Research

     Upon discussing what we want our storyline to be, we realized that our genre would also be considered a thriller/mystery as well. We felt that this genre would best fit what we are trying to do and bring in a new wave of audience members that would find our movie interesting. These audience members would likely be young adults who enjoy a psychologically challenging that allows them to guess what is going to take place. This leaves them on the edge of their seats until that very end when the answer is reveled or when a sequel is introduced. We thought that this genre would give our project an interesting twist that may be unique. 

    An example of what we are inspired by, is the book turned movie Gone Girl. This story follows a husband whom his wife goes missing on their anniversary during this annual game of hide and seek. What seemed to be a normal tradition, quickly became a mystery and a search for a missing person. We hope to employ this sense of normalcy before a sharp turn in the events of the story to get the ball rolling into the actual plot of what will be taking place throughout the rest of the story that intrigues both drama and mystery lovers alike. We hoped that adding mystery will make people want to continue watching and see how it pans out in the end.
