Indepth Development on the Plot

Ahh, once again we meet to disscuss our plot to our titles indepth even more. Which was relatively painfull not just because i lost my voice either =P. Well we manage to spit a few things together such as using both my sister's and Ross's cameras we would head upto Oxleys wood, set the cameras to multishot and fireaway at Kirstys every step, and a bit of scenery.. why not?

An idea that had been floating around from the start was the inclusion of spiders in the titles, such as the schitzophrinic adopting the murderous styles of spiders/using the spiders themselves in the murders someway/or just a trademark thing, such the like as roses,cards,kisses, something significant to the merderer. At which we decided that we liked the idea of spiders as the murder weapon, so arose the Magnus opium. This is a pod of web created by the spider to protect its young, which the killer would place inside the throat of the victim and then leave it for the spider to hatch out insearch of food and to devour the victim from inside out. ANd from this arose the idea to use webbing for the titles themselves, we thought this would look rather good and would fit in rather nicely. Bringing the spiders back into it we thought that we could also get someshots of spiders climbing ove other instruments used for murder.

The link between spider and Schitzophrinic isnt all that different in our case as they share many features in the film such as tehy both bound thier victims in webbing/rope, alsoo some spider commit suicide after birth (weird huh?) which is also what ends the reign of our murderous subject.

Although a merciless killer who appears to have no concept of the law, our character does have a reason to her bloodshed. She reaps those who bear children but neglect,beat,abuse them. She belives that the way they treat them they dont deserve them, at an extreamity we admit, but the push was the character herslf being infertile and unable to bear a child of her own. In a sense she is just an excentric justic bringer.

Earlier i mentioned the whole tophat cape thing to represent the 'evil side' well we liked the idea of a visual change so we decided upon good old make-up and colours to get the change in personalities across. So we thought light or no make-up with bright summery colours for when shes in her, what we call 'good side'. And heavy make-up, possiblywith tatoos/marking upon her face, with dark colours, blacks heavy greys and red for when she is at her 'evil side'. As Kirsty is alergic to facepaints we decided that mascara and eyeliner would do just fine and Ross suggested something like that of the band 'KISS' =P.

And back to talk of footage we were, the idea of flashing images of her eyes and the like would give it a.. jumpy feel? well a bit thrilling anyway.
