Character Research and Characterisation
On the second day of the planning we talked about the inspirational character of the movie "obsession".
Our character analysis are based 3 characters.
1) Yuno Gasai from the anime Future Diary. Yuno's personality is an ambiguous one. For the most part she is a sweet, feminine and sometimes shy girl. But, she also hides a dark and sanguinary side. Ruthless, cold and calculating psychopath who resort to cruel and usually violent methods, most of the time coming out of nowhere, that generally end in bloody deaths.
2) Jennifer from Jennifer's body:
Jennifer Check was a narcissistic high school flag girl who was sacrificed in a Satanic ritual by the wannabe indie rock band Low Shoulder in exchange for success in the music business. Due to not being a virgin, Jennifer's body was possessed by a Succubus. In order to sustain her life and nourish her strength, Jennifer became a killer and would seduce boys on the school campus in order to feed on their flesh and blood to retain her flesh that is slowly going away.
Combining Jennifer and Yuno:
For the girl character in our film opening, we are aiming to combine Jennifer and Yuno together to create a perfect psychopathic girl like what we visioned. By taking Yuno's psychopathic personality and Jennifer's incentives of hunting down different boys creates a perfect match on what we expected in the beginning; a crazy girl who has an obssession of killing boys in order to be with them. But when the time they get bored, she goes and hunt new ones.
Characterisation
For our movie opening, the girl character would be the acting the most and will be a vital backbone to the story. So, in order for our movie opening to go on, we want to slowly expose her identity.
By achieving this, we would first make the killer look as if she was a normal person by dressing her up in normal clothing, not to unique, gothic or psycho (as if she came out of a mental hospital). Instead, she would wear a school uniform. Moreover, the girl would be placed in a place with a lot of people and have a personality that can blend into all environments and situations. By doing this, it will allow the audience to realize that she is not a threat or does not look psychotic at all.
As the opening progresses on, her identity will slowly be revealed. This will be achieved by using setting and scenes. Changing from a social/ urban area to a more quiet and private place such as a house in a village. By doing this, the girl will slowly reveal her "secrets" and inner personality and would feel more comfortable to act out (reflecting back on "personality that blends with environment"). A personality like this would make our character look not only psychotic, but also a witty person at the same time.
Obsession with love: When the girl's private location i assured, she starts to reveal her love to a boy (corpse) that she had kept in hiding for quite a while. By showing her "psychotic" love, the dead boy is used in order to complete this trait. It will also make the audience see that she is a psycho who kills boys for love and ownership.
