Matt and I were very much inspired by Skins Series 3 Episode 8, which is Effy's Episode. She is shown to be running through the woods, where everything suddenly turns very sinister and she beings to panic. She is experiencing a bad trip from the drugs she has taken, so we decided to develop on that aspect for our thriller and make it so that Amy was experiencing a schizophrenic episode instead. We didn't want our thriller to be so sinister that we minimised our target audience, so we eliminated the drug aspect. The world around Effy is spinning and causing her to be disorientated and scared as she doesn't understand what's going on around her.
Fast forward to 32.25: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/skins/4od#2918542
I also noticed other psychological thrillers, such as 'Play Misty For Me' and 'Fatal Attraction', as they both portray a really strong aspect of a schizophrenic mind. However, they didn't entirely relate as we didn't want to focus too much on Amy being 'mental', but more the fact thats she was having an out of body experience and didn't understand what was happening to her. We decided that we wanted to flash to and from what was inside her head, creating a confusion and engaging the audience entirely.
