Film ideas

References to greek myths we may use:
- Pandoras box
- Narcissus
- Iccarus
- Dionysus
- Persephone & the pomegranite

Mise en scene
-Normal everyday costumes when in reality
-More elaborate Greek style clothing when in the 'dream'
-Opening scene in library - starts with him studying for an exam
-Middle scenes shot around town
-Later scenes set in the main characters house


Sound
The film will have limited dialogue, a mix of old fashioned and modern instruments. Introduce modern with Dionysus/rising chaos.
The sound can start off diagetic, to show the character is still seeing things normally, with some cheerful/strange music coming in quietly and subtly at first, becoming less harmonious with and more disruptive to the film as the chaos rises, then returns to tranquil at the end scene. Have a comical element, as the tone's film is comic rather then dark.
Will record background noise in each location incase dialogue needs to be looped - which i predict - so that it can be layered beneath the sound to make the looping seem seamless.
Music - Yann Tiersen meets "To Die For" or "Delores Claybourne" type sound

Camera
Like the music, the shots will start still, then as the film progresses they become more dynamic, moving shots following the main character as the plot progresses. Towards the end more still shots again as the mood becomes calm.

Editing
Possibly add a cartoon bird, surreal, interesting effect. Some non-fluent shots, shows instability.
