Changes Made To The Ideas.

Our initial idea was based on the horror film ‘I spit on your grave’ where two friends, Nina and Tatum, are in a dance studio rehearsing their routine and two boys enter. They begin to misbehave with the two girls and as one of them approaches Nina to rape her, Tatum flees leaving her friend helpless. This leads Nina seeking revenge on the rapists and her friend who left her at a time of need. After discussing this idea, we concluded that the story line was complex where the victim resorts to villainous acts blurring the line between Clover’s final girl and the sadistic villain. However we chose to keep the dance studio setting for the focal scene as we thought the mirrors would create a dramatic effect.
