The body/corpse/dead girl in our production is used mainly as an aesthetic to evoke a response of sympathy from the viewer. The casting of a girl as the body is significant as it creates symbolism. The symbolism that the body upholds is one of innocence, purity and the protagonists connection to his childhood and in destroying the body he in essence is killing a part of himself being his compassion. The fair hair of the female body is also symbolic as it upholds purity and idealism.
We want to have our vieiwer feel emotionally involved in the piece, joining the protagonist on his journey of torment and in dehumanizing the body, making it an object rather than an induvidual it puts the audience's attention on the protagonist for the entire duration of the piece; this being key to film being a success.
