DAY 7: Research of other films

 As my partner and I have been undergoing research for our film introduction, we have found 2 films that gave us an idea on how we want ours to be and how they have inspired us in the drama genre. 

Things We Lost In the Fire is a drama film. The movie discusses how a woman deals with the loss of her husband and has no idea how to cope. She then tracks down her husband's childhood friend. This character portrays a drug addict, knowing this the woman still invites him over to her house as they develop a relationship throughout the movie. Although this story has a romantic twist, it stills represents what the woman went through as she didn't know how to cope with the loss of her husband, similarly to our character. As they just lost someone important to them and are feeling guilty for it. Additionally, the movie also represents the struggles with addiction and how it affects not only the person but the people around them. 

The next film is Gia. Gia is a movie about a young girl who travels to Newyork in hopes of becoming a fashion model. She soon meets an agent that helps her reach her dreams. She soon becomes the top model in the world. But when the agent dies of lung cancer, the model turns to drugs; her whole life goes down hill from there. This movie is very similar to what we were hoping our film intro to be. Gia represents the loss of someone very dear to her, so she seeks drugs to numb her pain. It also shows how fast a person spiral due to drugs.
