Are you making something new?

There are many films that are similar to what we are planning to make. these include 'Shrooms' and 'memento'. The location and dark, eerie atmosphere of 'Shrooms' makes it similar to our and the non-linear narrative structure of 'Memento' makes it very similar to ours. 
There are many ways in which we can make our project differ from other typical thriller films. One of the ways in which we can do this is to make the characters as non-stereotypical as possible. For example, in most typical thriller films there is a ditzy female protagonist, in our project the protagonist is going to be female however she is not going to be portrayed as ditzy or dumb. Another stereotype that our sequence will challenge is that males are stronger than females. This is because within our story there is an argument between a girl and a boy, the argument escalates and the girl ends up overpowering the boy, pushing him down and seriously injuring him. This shows the girl as stronger than the boy, challenging the typical stereotype.
