After looking at how foreshadowing can be used in films it got me thinking about my project and how I can apply things like this to it.
A quick reference is in Psycho: the shower scene is foreshadowed.
I also want to add one or two things that suggest the protagonist is dreaming in my project too, along with the scarf appearing every time the protagonist is imagining something.
I'm looking at the idea that things you see/hear/experience in real life can influence your dreams when you go to bed.
My Ideas: Foreshadows
- During the first or second phone call have a stranger walk past the protagonist and look at them in a confused way since the protagonist, in reality, isn't talking to someone on the phone.
- Foreshadow the meeting scene by having one person hand something to another person right at the start of the film.
My Ideas: Influences
- For the first phone call early on in the film show someone engaged in a phone call either nearby or passing the protagonist.
- To influence the shopping bag: simply a shopping bag hanging on a bush on lying on the floor as the protagonist passes it.
The overall idea of the visions is to show that they are desires of the protagonist: a phone to contact friends or family; a smart outfit/nicer clothes and food (which is what is hinted to be in the shopping bag). So I don't want to go overboard with the influences as half the job is already done through the protagonist desiring these things.
