The plot of 'On The Run' was influenced by the case studies i look at, around the genre of short film, horror.It was mainly a hybrid because of the mix of genres we have to make it more interesting, enetertaining and complex than a traditional horror film. I used "BEN" mainly because it is also a short film, it is the same genre and it uses similar locations like the forest. Theres a sense of thrill and surprise also. Because she is running from 'Ben' someone who we don't see, who isn't in the picture like a made up character. And in m film 'On The Run' the runner is running away from the serial killer in the end, however we wanted to make it more interesting by switching and reversing the roles. Shocking the audience so it isn't a stereotypical horror film where you know who the killer is. We changed it also by adding music and sound effects muting the sound and dialogue the non-digetic sounds made it very relaistic and easy to follow, especially when we used a digetic voice over for the radio broadcast news. Another case study we used to distinguish what the plot would be is "The Purge" trailer  it is a Horror/Action film (Genre), I liked this film because it is diferent from generic short film trailers. As it uses a variety of camera shots and angles like a BIrds eye view shot, they use a variety of props as well and make up to scare the viewers for example, the Masks where as BEN uses more blood and gruesome props. I believe that the Purge is more realistic and that is what we wanted to create in our film, a sense of realism. I was also inspired by the case study "The Desk" short film because it was 100% horror it was a hybrid a bit of everything it was really gripping and during the end when we found out what was going on exactly, and who was the person writing on the desk, i thought it was a very unique idea compared to the typical dragging into  woods and ghostly kind of storylines. However, in the beginning it was a bit confusing but then we realised at the end of it, the real twist made us want to use a twist even more.

The plot also relates to Todorov's theory because we used a common structure in the short film, as we started of with a stable equilibrium then progressed on to a disequillibrium model, then there was a new equilibrium, and then it wasn't settled as the role in the characters subverted. and there was new way to the ending. Our film clearly portrays Todorov's 5 stage model. As we have the establishment of a serial killer on the loose , the development of the narrative when the serial killer chases the runner, then there is the complication where the roles changed when the runner was kidnapped as the audience would of been thinking whats happening and who is who. The Action Climax is demonstrated when The runner, sets herself free and knocks the first killer out. As the audience now know who is who, and what is happening, Then during the end we demonstrate the resolution of the short film where shorai rings the boss and states she has her.  Another theory that relates to the plot of my short film is the Levi Strauss theory that reflects the good vs bad hypothesis, but with a change as the character roles subvert throughout the short film. this is also related to the Binary opposites theory because the roles are again reversed, unexpectantly surprising the norms of traditional films of this genre, and the norms of women in cultural society.
