Black and White

       So, it seems that we've run into a small dilemma. The doll that we ordered, Tatiana has orange hair and green eyes, she also wears a green dress. Unfortunately, we do not know anybody with orange or orange-ish hair (a red head basically) with green eyes. Really, the fact that the doll is wearing a green dress does not matter, because we can always go out to find green clothing. However, the hair and eye color of the person should match the doll, if the doll is really a figment of Amber's imagination and is instead a human being. The doll and the human being is essentially one in the same and should look exactly alike.

          We tossed around the idea of dying the doll's hair brown so that we could easily find an actress that looks like her, or even buy new doll clothes so that we could find clothing similar to what one of us already owned, if we could not change the hair or eye color. But, we did come up with a simple solution that is an all around good idea. The film should be black and white in all scenes with the doll so that the audience will not be able to tell what color her features are. When the film comes to color is when Amber finally sees that the doll is actually a human being, the second that Amber's mind realizes this, the audience will see the Tatiana in human form as well. 

         My group came up with the idea that Amber should "stab" the doll in a fit of rage at the end of the short film, and when she looks down and sees blood on her hands, she will look up again and see a human being, finally realizing the horrors of what she's done. When she looks down at the blood on her hands (get the symbolism, haha), she snaps back into reality, which then is signaled by the switch from black and white film to color. This idea will cover all of our bases and it has actual meaning, which is extremely important.
