G4; Concept Development

Ideas

• Young female lead character, but going against horror convention in that she will be the villain/murderer/antagonist rather than the victim/protagonist
• Morning/day after she stabbed a male character (possibly ex-boyfriend?) to death and dumped his body
• Deserted rural area, with ditch, as a dumping ground for bodies- dual lines of action with the female character getting ready for work/school in the morning and the murder the previous day
• Fast cutting rate for flashbacks, slow cutting rate for house scene
• Radio playing, static drives the flashbacks (every time the radio crackles, cut to murder scene)
• Hints of a break up- in reality she is a cold blooded killer
• Photos of her with all the boys she killed hidden behind a makeup mirror, goes to put most recent photo behind the mirror and others fall out
• Face partially obscured by dark hair however we see her face in the photos she has behind the mirror

Reccie

• We are going to use an establishing shot of a lake, probably the one in Dunorlan Park, with CU shots taken in a ditch
• We will need to find a location for the shots inside the house, however this will probably be easier to find as we could use one of our houses

Props

• We are going to have photographs of the protagonist and various boys hidden behind and stuck onto a mirror on her wall, which we will take ourselves and print out
• The mirror may be quite dusty as we don't want to give too much away to the audience and a clear reflection of her face could give a lot away
• We are considering having various clues suggesting a breakup such as two toothbrushes in a bathroom, one of which will be thrown in a bin, and various products such as cologne which she may also throw away or smash, and clothes lying around
• As the protagonist is going to be getting ready to leave the house in the morning she will either wear normal day clothes or she could be in a dressing gown with a towel around her hair.
• We will also include props such as mascara, and she will be wearing typically feminine clothes such as a dress and heels which will be shown as muddy from the ditch
