Who would be the audience for your media product?

Other thriller narratives VS ours:

So, of all the movies I have looked at so far many of them have something about the storyline that is similar to ours. I looked at these movies intentionally to see how they portrayed their ideas and how we portrayed ours.

The Eye: Possibly the closest we have come to a similar movie, the main character has visions and premonitions of the future that cause her to investigate why she is having these visions. Only her visions come from the donated corneas she gets to cure her blindness. In our narrative the characters’ visions come from her own subconscious, mainly occurring when she is asleep or daydreaming, causing her to question her sanity. In The Eye the main character knows she is not going crazy and has to try and convince others that she is not. In any case, both characters from both movies go off in search of the cause of their premonitions leading them both on haunting and revealing journeys.

The Ring: The main comparison between these movies is the girl Samara (The Ring) and Natalie (Reinventing Your Exit) appear to be psychotic. Neither of them actually appear in reality fro sometime in the movies but they eventually appear and the audience learn of their tragic pasts. The Ring is based around Samara killing people out of spite for what her father did to her. Whereas Reinventing Your Exit is based more upon Natalie trying to escape without killing anyone.

Donnie Darko: Of a completely different sub-genre, and yet there are similarities. Both of the main characters are troubled teenagers who find it hard to fit it and are both fascinated by the world. Only Michelle (Reinventing Your Exit) does not suffer from a mental illness, just an overactive imagination.
