Character development
Elaine
For our killer in the story, my partner chose to name her Elaine. She chose this name after going through some of her favorite horror films and wanting to name the character after another iconic character from the film 'The Love Witch'. The character from that movie is similar to this film because they are both man killers who, at first glance, seem completely normal. In our movie, Elaine is a normal high school girl who gets hungry for blood and goes on a frenzy over a boy who wronged her, while in The Love Witch, Elaine is an eccentric young widow who seduces men with her witchcraft but ends up killing them.
Elaine's character is meant to be misleading. She looks like the 'girl next door cheerleader type, but she is secretly on a hunt for vengence. My partner took a lot of her outfit and personal style inspiration from the original girl next door, Mary Jane Watson, from the Spider-Man films. This concept is similar to the Jennifer's Body movie in terms of a girl misleading the other characters in the movie, but instead, Elaine will be a lot more school-oriented. For example, she may be upset at the boy who wronged her because she feels cheated and almost like she wasted her time, and it just overwhelms her with anger causing her to hunt him down and kill him.
