We thought that we should research into previous abductions so that we know exactly how to portray everything. After reading things that the victims had wrote and interviews with them we understood more about how it worked. We looked at the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard. In an interview she mentions that when she was first taken to the sound proof shed, she was drifting in and out of sleep, this is where we got the idea for our actress to be drifting in and out of consciousness having flashbacks of what had happened. We learnt that he kept telling her that she was there to protect other people, she knew what he was capable and would not wish it on anyone else. He also kept a book full of cut out pictures of little girls.
This research helped us understand the emotional state that our actress would need to portray and how she would react to the entrance of the person holding her captive.
