Planning - Potential symbolic object

In our group we were thinking about an object or something that could be used to be symbolic or to give  our character the sense of "innocence" . Our first thoughts turned  to costume even though it's quite cliche' we were thinking of dressing our charatcer in  a "white" dress , the colour white is interpreted in films as showing innocence and purity but also there's something angelic about the colour white . As we want a girl as our main character , dressing her up in a white dress will convery all these interpretations meaning the audience will be shocked when the realise that she isn't angelic at all .


 This is a picture from the film 'Ring' as you can see this is the sort or image our group will be trying to pull off , the contrast between the black long hair and shoes and the white outfit creates mystery . We were thinking of using Zaiba as our main character due to the fact that she has straight , long black hair and when teamed up with a white dress could add to our thriller and make it even more spooky and scary .






The next thing we looked at was a 'Jack in a box' the reason being is that symbolicly it could take our thriller to the next level . As you can see the jack in a box is a clown and for one reason or another a few people find clowns scary , this could be used in our favour . Also theres something about "winding" the little handle round and round till it POPS out , maybe our main character is being bullyed or has been mentally abused and when someone does push her buttons or "wind" her up thats when she offically bursts out and attacks .
