Set - Shrine

Creating a shrine

A shrine is a holy or sacred place, which tends to be dedicated to a particular person or people, at which they are worshipped. Shrines often contain idols, or other such objects associated with the figure being idolized. Various religion’s like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, Chinese folk religion and Shinto have been known to be associated with shrines. 

The idea of our shrine is to set up the character for the rest of the potential film. However it’s not to revel to much physical identity. It will also delve deeper into the mentally unstable creature that he is. We see the shrine to have photos and objects of the victims, candles, and various symbols.  This exposes the vast amount of couples he has killed at glorified. 

1.       Photos

The focus of the shrine will be around the numerous photos that the attacker has taken from inside the many victims house. These will possible be wedding photos, pregnancy picturs or just happy couples. This is to highlights the bitterness and psychotic nature of him and having ‘loved up couples’ relates back to the original film title name. Cupid.

   

2.       Objects

Having objects like shoes and clothing or something more sinister like hair and teeth with only add to the disturbing and uncomfortable situation presented on the screen.

3.       Candles

Candles have natural lighting and an element that is creepy. They are also used when in a romantic situation to calm the mood. Our attacker is (although violent) very calm and serene which highlights his psychotic and unpredictable behavior.
