More research into real-life incidents similar to mine

On 3rd November 2014, an article was posted about a woman, whose father had been a serial killer and was now in prison. It spoke about how Keith Jesperson, a serial killer who had been dubbed the "Happy Face Killer", had affected and interacted with his family which he never abused or sexually harassed. The article explains that Jesperson was a long-distance truck driver who murdered his victims while on his long journeys. His victims were typically women.

Our idea for a thriller is very similar to this. Our story will follow a man who obviously murders women for pleasure. We plan on revealing the audience to the calm and caring nature that he possessed towards his daughter. This massive contrast in personality inspired us the most. It means that the creation of a horror/thriller film was possible and likely to be a realistic and interesting story as it was based on reality.

These real -life instances of crimes and how they represent age and gender are very similar to mine. There is a clear binary opposition demonstrating stronger manipulative males and weaker subservient females. We demonstrated a similar narrative strand in our film and our research into crime and how gender impacts upon this was fundamental to our understanding of this.
