'The Fear and Desire for the Strange' is a school based drama that focuses on body swap between four characters of whom are students at the school. The trailer will show the psychological damages that effect the individuals as their minds become tortured by the uncertainty at when and whom they will change with. The two main characters Nina and Jay will be the main focus and the twists and turns of their experience will range from panic attacks at school, terrified video blogs and dangerous driving with tragic consequences.
The genre that includes a 'Body-Swap' theme is not uncommon in the film industry, however in research it appears that these predominately are Comedies/ Romantic-Comidies (for example here are the Top 10 Body Swap films; http://www.starpulse.com/news/Matthew_Newlin/2011/08/05/top_ten_body_swap_movies of which support the research that show the typical genres. This makes a great Uniques Selling Point for 'The Fear and Desire for the Strange' as it is in fact neither comedic nor romantic and rather focuses on the psychological torment of 'Body-Swappying'. This factor would make our film a more exciting and new idea for film distributors and would be seen as a different angle that many would find interesting. The more detailed and unique a film is, generally the success is greater shown by my case study on the 2011 thriller 'Black Swan'.
The examples of other 'Body-Swap' films:
The Change-Up
Freaky Friday
The Hot Chick
