2. After mind-mapping ideas about what sub-genre
of film to make, we came up with the idea to
create a Psychological Thriller. This premise
came from discussing films like Black Swan and
The Orphan. Both these films had aspects we
liked.
3. Black Swan focussed on the idea of “split-
personality” shown through the main characters
performance of the „Black Swan‟ and „Swan
Queen‟. This idea, of having a character with a
split-personality was very interesting and would
allow us to show creativity in many ways.
4. Orphan also had interesting ideas. The main
character was hiding her true identity, something
with our character, Rosie Black, would have to
do due to her personality disorder.
5. Also, the drawings in Orphan create a very
sinister atmosphere as we don‟t expect children
to be so evil. Therefore, this is something else we
wanted to include in the trailer.
6. Another film we took inspiration from was Hide
and Seek. Again, this film involves a child
antagonist which is much more sinister than an
adult. Although we didn‟t use a child, having a
teenager also creates a sinister atmosphere.
