Representation in Forsaken

Greetings and welcome back bloggers! Today we at CineMarcus Productions are happy to share with you today the use of representation in the film opener! Join us today as we discuss the representation revolving Kendrick and the themes that make Forsaken the greatest it can be!

Our film mainly targets around teenagers, particularly those who relate to have inner struggles (Other wise self discovery), and emotional experiences. In this scenario, the story isn't "stereotypical" as it starts in the mall as you guys already know, showcasing the friendship of Kendrick alongside with Wyatt and Ericson. However, in the end of the film opener, it quickly shifts to feelings of loneliness. Because of this, the abrupt atmosphere makes the film more intriguing to viewers who want to understand this area that may be universally understood and makes the storytelling overall feel fair.

When challenging representation, instead of showing people that teenagers are always happy, my film opener really shows a more complex and real reality where both joy and loneliness exists which not all movies showcase ranging from young to old audiences. It focuses on characters with depth and avoids stereotypes as told in the previous paragraph, providing an emotional journey that feels authentic in the end.

The visuals match the story’s tone as well as seen in scenes that are bright and full of color! For example, as the story progresses throughout the opener, the story shifts dramatically at the end. And for this reason, Forsaken challenges the idea that being young is always CAREFREE and happy while as well acknowledging the heavy feeling of loneliness, showing that the search for friendships is just as real as happy moments. Specifically, we believe Kendrick’s story is already well made and does not need any further improvements.

Thank you bloggers for reading today's post! Stay tuned for more updates and see you on the flip side!
