As you may have noticed, Certain aspects of our project, for example the imaginary blood on the hands which cannot be washed off, are similar to parts of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'. We have decided to exploit these similarities, creating an effective atmosphere.
One way in which we could do this is through the Mise en Scene. Already we are using 'Mind' posters, and we could put up 'Macbeth' posters or advertisements in the background.
However, the better, subtler, more effective way to do this is through the sound. Our film opening includes frantic, overlapped whispering, portraying our protagonist's panicked stream of thought. The dialogue, consisting of phrases such as 'she cant be dead' and 'this isn't happening', could contain some quotations. Reading the play, i have selected certain lines and phrases from Lady Macbeth's own hallucinogenic episode. We will use 'where is she now', originally in reference to the murdered Lady Macduff, and 'will these hands never be clean'. In addition, i believe 'yet here's a spot' will prove more effective than the more famous, sloganised 'Out, damned spot'.
