Ideas for the DVD cover

Ideas for the DVD cover

Another idea for the front cover would be to have a developing polariod on the cover. This would reveal a young female however her identity is not yet clear. This is highly enigmatic for the audience as they may ask, Who is she? Why has a picture of her been taken? etc. This polariod also connotes the villains obsession with stalking and taking pictures of his victims which is a key theme throughout the thriller.

Something like this:

On the back there would be polariods neatly displayed which are fully developed and have a red cross through them. This is a strong conntation that they have been killed and checked off of the villains list of victims. Therefore this draws attention back to the female on the developing polariod on the cover. The audience builds expectations that this is his next victim and she is somehow going to be different to the villains other victims -more than likely puts up more of a struggle and even possibly gets away which leads to the villains capture.

Film Title

We think this incorporates the cholorform/drugging, his obsession/compulsion to stalk these girls and his, almost, (scientific) expertise in the area. We also obvioulsy decided that our title would be 'the anaesthetist' - as it sounds creepy and almost surgical - a methodical killer.

Other ideas we had for the title of the film were -

• The Butcher
• The Silencer
• The London Butcher
• The Strangler
• Intoxication
• Numb
• Breathless
