Prostitutes makeup
Jack The Rippers victims need to look as realisicly cut and stabbed as posibble without actually having been stabbbed. So I will do this by using latex skin wax, fake blood, face paints and makeup. I have researched some of the products I want to use and partook in a summer course in which we used latex skin and make up artistry.

The Misfits-Die Die My Darling
The Lyrics of Die Die My Darling are significant to my media. The song is about a man who wants to kill his lover, or someone that he loves. Jack wants to kill the prostitues when his "Mr Hyde" self comes out causing him to to kill the prostitutes. I will have a scence showing his personality change where he is walking home and is a acosted by a lady of the night. Jack tells her to go and leave him be because "she won't like him when he's angry" She teases him and he changes from the timid shy man to a murderous beast.
Lyrics:
Ah
Yeah
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty eyes
I'll be seeing you again
Yeah, I'll be seeing you, in hell
So don't cry to me oh baby
Your future's in an oblong box
Don't cry to me oh baby
You should have seen it a-coming on
Don't cry to me oh baby
I don't know it was in your card
Don't cry to me oh baby
Dead-end soul for a dead-end girl
Don't cry to me oh baby
And now your life drains on that floor
Don't cry to me oh baby
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again, yeah-yeah
I'll be seeing you, in hell
Don't cry to me oh baby
Your future's in an oblong box
Don't cry to me oh baby
You should have seen it a-coming on
Don't cry to me oh baby
I don't know it was in your card
Don't cry to me oh baby
Dead-end soul for a dead-end girl
Don't cry to me oh baby
And now your life drains on the floor
Don't cry to me oh baby
Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you, in hell
Die-die-die

Music That Has Influenced Me
This music has influenced me as they are all about how humans can be murderous to each other. Die Die my darling is about a man killing a woman and how he'll see her in hell, how she "should of see it coming on"
The Phantom of the Opera is about the beauty behind the beast and it influenced me of how Jack is deep down a loving caring soul with remorse.
Jack the Ripper by the Horrors... Well the title explains it all.

Poster Design Influences
The way we see only the silhouette of the person in shot impacts the person looking at the poster. We do not know who the character is
The way the chracter of The Joker is shown in this shot affected my design. He is blurred and his face cannot be seen. This makes him seem menacing as we can't see his expression. The tagline of the film is written in blood and this is also how I would like my Film Title/Tagline to be written on the poster.
I like the way the Joker is placed in this Image from the cover of "Batman: The Killing Joke" and want Jack to be placed in a similar way on my poster. He will be to right of the page with only half his face shown by candle light. This picture influenced me, by the way the Jokers face is illuminated in certain places and shaded in others. Also only half off his face can be seen this is also how I want Jack to mbe shown.
The reason this Film poster from "Dead Silence" Helped Influence me is because of the way the Dummy is lit. I want Jack in my poster to be lit in a similar why but with half his face in shado due to a lit candle he holds in front of his face. This will give Jack the air of mystery and menace that I want to potray for his character.

A change of Heart
I have now decided to completely change my idea of doing a cartoon horror. I am now going to do a film based upon the events that occured late in the year 1888 surrounding the events of Jack the Ripper. I thought this Idea had a better story to it as it has a rich history wich i can research and make my own conclusions from. I have also decided to do it in a stylised way by having it filmed entirely in black and white but have bursts of the colour red every now and then as well as some coloured sequences.
For my A2 coursework I have decided to do a Five minute film which is part animation and part live action. As well as doing a magazine review and a poster.
My idea is to have live action going into an animation,
A man dressed in puritain costume is seen standing on a hill at sunset, he dissapears. We then see him appear near an old abandoned shack, which he enters. He then approaches a desk full of rusty objects and bits of paper. He sits down and begins to draw. When he moves away we see he has drawn a room. The room suddenly becomes coloured in and characters begin to appear, weird smiling monsters along with a little boy, they all stre intrestingly at the boy who cowers, the monsters have musical voices and talk to the boy who advances on them and screams.
My animation is meant to be creepy and sureal so that the viewer is left slightly creeped out and with questions as to whats happening. I have gained my ideas from many areas here they are.
Use of Inspiration:
The Twisted Tales of Felix The Cat
As a child I found the strange a colourful characters in this Tv shoow captivating. The chaacters were monsterous and hardly resembed any human being in any way, with charicature like features that made each and everyone of the animations stand out. It showed a darker side of animations with the characters doing strange and wonderful thing, as well as being strange and wonderful. There was always a slight sense of menace as well as Felix the main character always ended up in some kind of danger of Peril. The show inspired my characters in my animation as we don't fully know what these monsters are or who they are, thus changing the genre slightly to a cartoon horror. My creations have large caricature features for example large over egsaggerated eyes and mouths. some have long limbs and some lack important features that make these monsters human. This is inspired by the strangeness of Felix the cat.
Salad Fingers
Salad Fingers is a surreal physcological horrorFlash cartoon created by David Firth. He lives in a desolate post apocolyptic world with only himself and his "friends" Finger puppets Hubert Cumberdale, Jeremy Fisher and Marjory Stewart-Baxter who Salad Fingers provides the voices for, yet they come to life when he hallucinates or dreams. other humanoid cretures are Harry/milford cubicle, an agressive humanoid whom salad fingers hangs on a meathook believing him to be alive. Mable a small scared girl who picnics with salad fingers and whom Salad fingers hallucinates her with her eyes gouged out. Kenneth a corpse whom he dugs up and claims him t5o be his brother back from the great war. other characters include Horace horse collar, salad fingers toy horse, Mr Branches a tree 21 yards from Salad finger's house. Roger a radio that scares salad fingers into a cupboard and who talks similar to a dalek, Penny pigtails a girl salad fingers imagines whilst hiding from Roger, Bordois is sald fingers "little sister" who is a woodlouse. There are also several unamed characters including a boy salad fingers accidently cooks, a small child that falls in love with salad fingers and cages him using a bear trap as well as a screeching child whom salad fingers enquires to him about "the spoons". Finally Salad fingers is a green hunched humanoid man he is bald with no nose or ears and has long hairy " salad fingers" . He has a strange atrraction to rusty objects as well as a desire to experiment with pain. He appears to suffer from psycosis and give inanimate objects human names. He often hallucinates and has muderous tendencies, he is portrayed as child like and experimental.
Salad fingers has infulenced my main character in the animation sequence, a small child seemingly harmless who turns out to be a muderous psychopath and this character is based on the child that tries to marry salad fingers as well as elements of salad fingers himself. Also the desolate room in which the monsters redside ios a sald fingers influence.
Vincent Price in The Witchfinder General
My main character is dressed in puritain regalia like the Witchhunter Matthew Hopkins, Vincent price portrays the Humter in the film the witch finder general. I wanted my character to look strange and out of place and i thought that if i had him in period costume this would prortray a sense of wonder as to who this man is.
Doctor Who-Fear Her
In this episode the Doctor and Rose travel to the year 2012 as the world is getting ready for the olypics. The Doctor meets a girl who is inhabbited by a lonely alien and who has the power to draw real people and trap them in her pictures, people from the street begin to go missing and eventually the Doctor and half the world dissapear into the girls pictures. And the only way to stop her is to destroy the picture of her evil dad that she has drawn and to convince the alien to move on.
This episode influenced me as the characters in the girls drawing can move as if they have life and my character can draw pictures that move and seem real.
Life on Mars Camberwick Green sequence
In this sequence Sam sees himself as a character on Camberwick green appearing from the musical box. He also sees An avatar of Gene Hunt beating up a peadophile in Camberwick green style animation.
This has influenced me a it is a surreal sequence bought on by Sam Hallucinating in his drugged up state. I wanted my animation to be strange and surreal as none of the Characters seem like they belong in this world.
