Inspiration for my character
The Ring
The demeanour of this picture is the idealistic starting point for my character due to the similarities of roles that we both play; possessed girls . What i must effectively do to contradict this is radiate innocence , deceptively reassuring the audience that I'm relatively normal. This will provide increased tension and suspension. In this picture the character evokes an impression of innocence, bewilderment- tinged with sadness as though she cant believe they would ever accuse her of doing wrong. This is exactly the impression i want to provide as I'm playing a character which essentially transforms from innocent to evil.
What is intriguing is the use of mise-en-scene such as the colour scheme, lighting and costume.
Primarily the lighting appears to be blue tinged ,which is a fundamental colour used in horror films to represent morbidity and tragedy. It also gives an impression of a clinical feel which seems an abstract concept, perhaps suggesting that not everything is what it seems. The blue lighting extends to the character as well which makes her seem as though she drowning. The use of blue lighting could effectively be in cooperated into our film , if we choose to, although i think white lighting will be better.
Costume is again extremely intriguing as it simply consists of a white, baggy, shapeless garment which reminds me of a nightie, again another mise-en-scene element we would like to exploit . The hair which is matted, dark and long giving the girl a sense of barbarity , contrasting against the purity of the white colour scheme.
In order to capture this character profiling i must analyse her acting styles and research thoroughly into the films mise-en-scene, lighting and colour schemes
