Audience Trend

On of the shows that have helped us develop our ideas are Stranger things. This is because this is also a show that mixes fantasy with real life, and there's hallucinations which is what were trying to show in our film. Also some of the character that are shown in Stranger Things are teenagers who  associate with alcohol, drugs , and smoking whether they're peer pressured or in a party. This resembles our film because our characters are teenagers, who experiment in the same things, and are developing their understanding as well. Also there's hallucinations that are shown in Stranger Things when experimenting, which is what were trying to show in our film.

This is the example of a scene in Stranger Things which has helped us develop our idea. This is because in this scene Will is having a seizure, which then makes him shake uncontrollably. Everything then seems to be more blurred, as if he was hallucinating. This also shows isolation as he may feel like he's by himself, and no one is here to help him This then relates more to our idea because our character takes a pill and then  begins to experience blurred vision, hallucinations, as well as the feeling of being isolated as if there's no one to help her. This is why Stranger Things has played such a strong role in developing our main idea.

There's also an engima that's shown on how Will is having an episode, as we don't exactly know what has caused him to feel that way. We know he's been traumatized when he saw the monster. However, we don't know the reason why he's still having episodes and these sorts of side affects , as we don't know why they're not going away.

This will then relate to our show because our character is experiencing different side affects while taking the pill. However, these side affects are lasting much more longer and are more dangerous.As the character then gets supernatural powers, and there's an enigma created because we don't know how this pill has made her receive this. Also, this can be dangerous because her vision will then become more blurred then, which can cause something harmful occurring.

Also Black Mirror also plays a role in how this has helped us develop our idea.This is because in the first episode a lady got kidnapped, and she will only escape if the prime minister had sex with a pig. This shows an example of black mailing someone to due what they don't want to. As the prime minister is peer pressured, and may feel embarrassed.

Our idea is not as extreme as this. However, this does involve around our character that is taking a pill that she is not aware of, because this will benefit someone else. The same way if the prime minister had sex with a pig will benefit the kidnapper as he will laugh at him. This is how this has helped us with discussing our idea's.

13 Reasons Why is also a show that we've got some ideas from, this is because this involves around teenagers who are going through different situations and have participated in drugs alcohol, and smoking which had an major impact on Hannah committing suicide as she was raped by someone who was the under the influence . Were not going to make our show that extreme. However, were trying to show how being under the influence can lead to bad things occurring.
We've also showing illegal drugs that are being used. The pills that were going to use are illegal because they are still to be tested , and you don't know the side effects that will then occur. This is similar to Narcos were cocaine an illegal drug is being sold for money.

This is an example of peer pressure because as you can that Clay doesn't want to drink with the. However they threaten to beat him up if he doesn't , which will then made him feel like he has to drink in order to fit in.

This has then helped us develop our idea in our show. This is peer pressure is a topic that teenagers go through. Our character was peer pressured into taking a drug which she didn't want to take.This then shows a much more relatable experience for the audience as there's many teenagers watching that feel like they have to try and fit in, and participate in dangerous stuff.

Riverdale is also a show which has helped us with developing our idea. Because there's a scene in Riverdale when they're taking drugs, and then the major finds out and they get in trouble. Therefore, as they're punishment they will have to do community service then. This is similar towards our show, which will involve characters participating in drugs. However , no one will get caught. This will then lead to one of the characters gaining supernatural powers then.
We have also used Dynasty as one of the shows that have helped us develop our ideas. This is because there's this one scene where Fallon passes out by Chlorine because of her Dad's wife's sister as there's this  feud going on with the family. This relates to our idea because our main character gets a pill shoved down by a stranger which makes her pass out. She then ends up into a abandoned room, as she's isolated by everyone, which resembles some elements of being kidnapped, with the man who made her pass out.


We will show this on E4 because this is a well known show in the UK which is what the location is based in.

This show can also be shown on Netflix, because this is a show which attracts an audience on a global scale, which will mean a higher chance of increase in viewers then.
