characterisation

Creating a persona for the female character of our video has been purely based on our own knowledge from televsion.
From watching films like 'Halloween'(new version), we see footage of mochael myers as a child, being kept in an asylum. This conotes psychological problems to the viewers, along with the plain white clothing.

However, the woman used for 'The Ring' has simlar conotations, and liz and i particularly like the effect of her being soaked in water. Therefore, we can use water on the floor for reflection and interesting close ups. Connected with this, we have also discussed using gus van sant's style of filming for inspiration for the films 'Elephant' and 'Last Days'. However, his slow moving stlye and long shots is usually suported by natural sounds, whereas ours is supported by a music track, which could make for an interesting experimentation.

Also, the music video for 'Young Bride' by Midlake, shows an insight into the mind and thoughts of a woman who is unwell in her bed. However, we see her escaping into the wild, wandering as if she is loking for something new. Her mysterious wander attracts the viewer, and her persona is one that we wil use towards creating our chracter.
