8. Research For Film Brief

I have done some research on movies that are similar to our idea and I found three in particular that I thought were good examples. I think these will be useful to show the different possible ways we could start our film and the arrangement/order of the production info etc.

Gone (2012)
Gone follows the story of Jill and her sister Molly. Jill was kidnapped and thrown in a hole in the woods, filled with other bodies. She was the only one to escape and he comes after her again. However, when he finds that she isn't home, he takes Jill's sister, Molly. No-one else believes Jill so she tries to find her sister herself and ends up being chased by the police because they think that she is just a crazy woman with a gun.
