INSPIRATION
The film Orphan which is distributed by Dark Castle Entertainment is a psychological horror movie, it is about a girl called "Esther", she has been adopted from an orphanage home after a couple has a miscarriage and sees no hope but to adopt a child .But the couple are unknown of what "Esther" has been through and what problems are awaiting with her presence in the family .A husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.The Orphan was also an inspiration for our own film poster and storyline. We decided to use a simple picture for our main image on our film poster like the orphan. And on our main task storyline we decided to use a university student rather than a younger child because we thought our target market will be more wider. We also thought that instead of using a typical orphanage child we decided to make a contradicting unusual opening sequence by our protagonist already having recently lost her mum but she is old enough to live on her own, so the opening would be the after life o fthis consequence for her, this would make it more interesting and scary
MORE INSPIRATION
Our film was also inspired by Dark Water , which was distributed by Touchstone Pictures. This is a story about a mother and daughter who move into a new apartment and get haunted and see signs of distress. A mother and daughter, still wounded from a bitter custody dispute, hole up in a run-down apartment building. Adding further drama to their plight, they are targeted by the ghost of former resident. This film was also inspirational to us because it was based upon a mother who had split up with her husband and because of her daughters school problems they have moved into a new apartment and are facing consequences of someone always taunting them. Another way it helped us was, to get the exact picture we wanted for our own film poster.
