CdL; Idea One
Seeing as how the convention in horror films is for the protagnist/victim to be a young, vulnerable female, maybe we should make our antagonist/killer/monster a young female whom no one suspects because of her traditional victim status. We could set up the openings already mentioned by FK and RB to show her as if she is going to be the next victim, then show flashbacks to her carrying out the murder or in the aftermath of the murder. Alternatively, we could leave the killer's identity obscured in a film noir style until the end of our clip when her face is revealed as the girl at the beginning.

I think this would be good as we are all girls, so it makes filming easy as we do not have to draft in others to play the key role ! We could have minimum outside help this way!
ReplyDeleteAlso we could use makeup to make her face have bruises and stratches, and smudged makeup to make it look like she is crying and the victim but in reality is from the struggle to kill the man.
ReplyDeleteI like the noir style idea as the antagonist could be like a conventional femme fetal character.
ReplyDeleteV. interesting concept development - I like the idea of playing with representational conventions and using recognisable stylistic elements
