My inspiration behind the plot of Forsaken...

    Hello bloggers, and welcome back! Today, I am glad to discuss my true inspirations that helped towards different contributing details showcased within Forsaken. your probably wondering how myself and my partners, Alexander and marcus, compiled this crazy, dramatic narrative together? I am here to break everything down for what personally helped me, so join us today as we talk in-depth about shows and experiences that helped inspire me!!!

    firstly, when we were trying to think of an idea to showcase the crazy scene where Kendrick had transitioned from a super radiant environment to a dark and isolated scene of him realizing everything was a dream, it kind of reminded me of Stranger Things. If you don't know what Stranger Things is, it is basically a show where this boy is living his regular, vibrant life, and then some random creature from another dimension goes into his world and snatches the boy away, leading to his disappearance. This strong and immediate change reminded me of the same tension that we are attempting to utilize in Kendrick's life, and inspired me when it came to the actions utilized in the filming of this scene. As you will see in the film opener, things do take a significant dramatic turn, and this helped us to make it even more mind-blowing. 

    Additionally, this brought in more perspective when it came to the arcade scene, since one of the scenes within Stranger Things also takes place in the Arcade. This inspired me to make sure that we include it in this opener, especially for the big transition to Kendrick waking up. Even the part where they are at the mall in general, between these scenes, inspired me. In Stranger Things, at the mall, they are being chased by these other-dimensional creatures, which made me think that for our opener, we should have a drastic change while we are in the mall. 

Thanks for reading about my personal plot inspirations behind Forsaken, and I will catch you guys in the next blog!!!
