Me and my partner Grace used a side by side comparison with the film “Kidnap”. Directed by Luis Prieto. This mothers son was taken at the local park while she wasn’t paying attention. She goes on a hunt to find her son and goes on a chase with the car that contained her son. The opening scene’s of our films are similar with setting, actors, lighting and plot.
Both child actors willingly left with the kidnappers leaving the parents in shock. We went to the park not knowing how Sawyer was going to act so the fact that she gave us the clips that she did was great.
Both films had a mission of getting the point across to watch your kid at all times. In the film “kidnap” the mother watched the abductors drive off and decided to fight back. In our film, the scene cut off right as the mother noticed and the abductor already drove off.
