Sam and I did some research while we waited for ROAR to get back to us to kind of pinpoint our idea down, Sam had this vision of Jack Stauber type of warped reality like the short film Opal and Baby Hotline (mostly at 0:22) which is just demented versions of Penny from Peewee's Playhouse in my humble opinion. But we wanted to focus a lot on the psychological aspect since that's the route we want to take so we researched a lot of psychological thrillers and suspense films such as Fractured, Opal, Whiplash, The menu, and black swan, to really get the feel of how to produce a psychologically aimed opening/ film.
We took at least one thing from each film to include in our opening that adds a sense of discomfort. From Fractured and Opal, we wanted to showcase the two realities of each artist and show the different perspectives of the situation, a sort of warped reality. In Whiplash, the artist tortures themselves since one of our main characters goes down a path where they eventually kill themself unknowingly just like in Black Swan while trying to kill a doppelgänger for themselves only to end up hurting themselves.
