Film Synopsis

The idea for our short film involves two characters. The main character, a male, is obsessed with the second character, a female. the male follows her around the village where they live. He spies on her in her home, takes of photos of her and collects items she has thrown away. The male is completely delusional and thinks the girl has feelings for him also, though she doesn't acknowledge him at all when he says hello to her in the street.

The male also has a 'shrine' dedicated to her filled with her photographs, used perfume bottles as well as items of clothing he has secretly taken from her. He may also have a pot doll which looks similar to her and cuddle it when he is at home. We are using the pot doll which can be seen as a scary or eery object in order to reflect on the male character's personality. This uses semiotics and iconology because it may be a fear of the viewer. This also adds another ominous effect, further adding to the eeriness.

The climax to the film has an unexpected twist where the girl is actually in love with boy and has an obsession with him. She leaves him an item of clothing on purpose and when the boy says hello, she smiles after they have passed each other. This will be shown as a flashback. The girl also has a diary which her spoken thoughts are actually from. The use of the pot doll will also reflect on her.
