My media product

Lately, I have been watching more shows and films. I have noticed that with the love interests, the guy is usually more obsessive in an unhealthy manner. For example, I recently watched New Girl and one of the main character's Nick has been constantly calling his ex-girlfriend and refusing to accept that she broke up with him. It is important to show men that taking no for an answer is important. Women are allowed to have their own feelings and can choose to not want to be in a relationship. The gender performative theory guided our work. Our product represents the social issue of viewing women as possessions. Our main character, Brooke, is stalked and kidnapped by a male who views her as something he must have. We are showing that possessive and obsessive love does not win in the end. At the end of our film, the kind and respectful guy ends up with Brooke, so we are setting a positive example of what love should be like.

We have gone with a red and black theme for our posts to signify danger and horror. We are choosing dark colors and a dark ambiance overall for our film to represent the thriller and horror aspect. We still have drama and some romance sprinkled throughout the film.


Our product engages with audiences because Netflix viewers LOVE thrill, drama, and romance. Drama accounts for 10.4% of the most popular Netflix films in the U.S. and thriller and romance each account for approximately 8% of the most popular genres of Netflix films in the U.S. We have a combination of all three, which will be sure to appeal to audiences!

Our film is finally complete! The process definitely had its ups and downs, but I am glad that our film is finally ready for release. In regards to branding, we chose a red and black theme. Our social media posts incorporate a red and black theme to signify danger and horror. Our link tree is also red and black. Overall, we chose dark colors and a dark ambiance for our film to represent the thriller and horror aspect. We also branded the protagonist and antagonist a certain way. Iman, the stalker, is seen wearing red and black in her opening shot. This is a subtle way of foreshadowing to the viewers that she is a villain. Ainsley, the good love interest, is seen wearing a light colors in her opening scene. We used light to represent good and darkness to represent the bad at the beginning. We purposely did not stick to this theme for all of their clothing because we did not want to make it too obvious and throw it in the face of the audience. We also chose to refrain from using too much

My Inspiration

I took inspiration from many shows that showed a presumed dead character and then bringing them back into the show by showing them as alive. I enjoy the suspense and thrill that this creates and how it allows for many previous back stories to be revealed. I was inspired by the show You, where the main character Joe hits his ex-lover in the head and he presumes she is dead in season one. He then buries her alive. However, in season two, the ex pops up into his life unexpectedly. He is shocked to see her alive. From You, I would like to imitate how Joe moves and starts a completely new life with a new identity whenever he kills someone. Another inspiration I have  is the show Pretty Little Liars. This show consists of 5 friends, where one is presumed dead. However, she turns up unexpectedly and it is discovered she was buried alive. She returns back to her hometown and to her old friends, which comes as a shock to them. From Pretty Little Liars, I would like to imitate where Allison asks
