Influences

During the lesson we were asked to look at different movies that are simarlar or have similar aspects to the movie we are going to produce. We found that the movie 'Flight Plan' starring Jodie Foster was very interesting because of its psychological theme and storyline. IMBD provided us with enough information to know exactly what was expected for a movie of this genre.

The movie is based around a mother who is on a plane and finds that her daughter is missing, but to her surprise no one is aware of her child. The film builds up tension and causes the audience to think about what may have happened to her child and if she is mentally unstable.

This film is relevant to our research as it shows similar aspects to our idea based on genre.
