Coursework Construction : Explanation of final cut

Within our 2-minute film opening, you can see a person, cutting, sewing, defacing pictures of people and items. Although in the opening 2 minutes you cannot see the person, she is a young teenage girl, around the age of 16 to 20 who has had a rough upbringing. Considering the age of our main character, she goes to sixth form/college who studies fine art, therefore she has unlimited access to art supplies that include needles and heavy objects which could ultimately be used to hurt someone. She has not been included in friendship groups and spends most of her time alone creating artwork that could be seen as creepy and disturbing. Within her school years she has been bullied by other class mates as she is seen to be ‘eerie’, ‘strange’ and ‘unusual’. These class mates have given her grief every day, which has ultimately made the main character aggravated and annoyed, therefore she targets the bullies and plans to eventually kill them. Within the two minute opening you see the main character target these students and plan on how to kill them. The whole of ‘Merz’ is to show the journey that the main character has been on.
