Hello Loungers! I hope you are excited about another NEW blog!

Today, I will be talking about what inspired me to come up with the plot:

 The Start

        While I am not an avid horror fan, I have some friends who LOVE to watch horror, so unfortunately, I get dragged into watching them as well. The main inspiration for the plot of this project was the movie "Megan is Missing" by Director Michael Goi. After saying that, I am sure your minds will immediately recognize the similarities between the plots. Both feature a teenage girl who meets up with strangers they talk to online and gets kidnapped while her friend is left to pick up the pieces left behind. However, that is where the similarities end as the plot for the movie is far darker than what we wanted to do for a school project plus we do NOT have the same freedoms as them to do that kind of plot.

Building Upon

       Remember when I said Yiqi also helped me with coming up with the plot? While the initial idea was mine, she helped expand upon it adding ideas such as meeting up through an online game rather than how it was in the movie, having multiple antagonists/kidnappers, etc. Another movie that inspired this plot was "The Black Phone" by Director Scott Derrickson (I also did a title sequence analysis for it. Check out that blog if you have not seen it already) but to a lesser extent as this one is set in the 70s. This is obviously another kidnapping movie, and I liked the ending of this one more, so if I ever had to come up with an ending to the story it would be similar to this one. Of course, we are only doing an opener, so there is no need for one. Overall, these two are the main movies that inspired me to create this plot for the opener as they have had a HUGE impact on me, and I wanted to share that with the world.    

    I hope you enjoyed reading today's blog, and stay updated on any future ones!
