Story synopsis

This is our story synopsis and gives you an overall look at what would happen if we were to make the whole film.

A story of a serial-killer-couple who balance their love between a normal, social life, and torture the innocent for a therapeutic experience. As the story of their crimes unfold to the public, a bounty is placed for the two as they must escape and finally come to the end in a ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ esque shoot off.

Audience theories

Cultivation theory examines the long term effects of television and from this theory we can understand that the more time people spend 'living' in the television world, the more likely they are to believe that the social reality portrayed in television is true to real life.

Hopefully, from our film, we want the audience to understand that in society, people are not always as they are viewed on first perception but we also do not want the audience to engage with our clip to the extent that they think that all couples are psycho killers.
