'Obsessed'

Our ideas are now coming together and soon we will be taking shots of our chosen characters, location shots, doing a written description on them and planning our script.

While our plans are progressing I still want to broaden my knowledge on our chosen my genre. I just watched the film 'Obsessed' and looked at conventions, including the conventions of the characters. The film relates to our story line very well therefore it is a good film to research, similar to 'Fatal Attraction' a women becomes romantically obsessed with a man who is a husband as well as a father. The male is a successful business man which is the same in both films. This made me think that power and status has something to do with why the females become romantically obsessed. In our film, a girl (Charlotte) becomes obsessed with a pretty popular girl (Summer), she doesn't have high status because of her work but because she is popular, therefore has a high social status.

Researching films such as these gives me not only inspiration but helps me look at conventions. It also gives me a better insight to how to portray characters our own film by looking at the camera work, how the characters are shown and conventions of our genre - a psychological thriller.
