‘Fixation’ was inspired by a film called ‘Obsessed’ which written by David Loughery, starring Beyonce Knowles (Sharon) who is one of my favourite female icons; she is best known as a singer however, is also an actor, fashion designer and business woman. It’s about a very successful business man (Derek Charles) who has just been elected vice president at work he is also happily married and has a child. Everything appears to be going well until a new temp (Lisa) arrives at his workplace as his PA. As soon as she sees him it is love at first sight on her behalf. She makes many attempts to win him over; she tries seducing him at the office Christmas party, pretending to be his wife and stalking him. When her attempts appear to be failing she even attempts suicide, kidnaps his son. In the end Derek and Sharon decide to visit their family for a while to escape the trauma however, Sharon and the baby leave earlier and Derek plans to join them the following day. Informed of the news by the office gossip Lisa goes to the house, breaks entry and waits for Derek to return home. Having forgotten to activate the house alarm Sharon doubles back home. Whilst inside she hears a noise coming from upstairs so she goes to check it out. As Sharon goes into the bedroom she finds Lisa sprawled across the bed. The two brawl resulting in Lisa falling through the ceiling where she meets her death.
The concept of the film is one that is powerful and strong therefore, I feel can be adapted in many ways. Being inspired by this my ideas were based on parts of the film.
