Signs

I also watched the popular alien invasion film Signs. What i noticed while watching this film was a certain feauture that is incredibly relevant to my final piece. I noticed that for about 3/4 of the film the identity of the aliens is hidden. This makes the film 10x more creepy and unnerving because you don't know it is that you are trying to avoid and who is after you.

I found this relevant to my piece purely because it reaffirmed, in my mind, the choice to keep the abusive boyfriends identity concealed. Not only did i feel doing this would be good for creating the same atmosphere as the one that in Signs, but also because it would generalise the abuser. I felt by doing this I would make people know that horrible occurrances like that are more frequent than many think and also that the attacker can be anyone, even someone you trust. It is not their appearance and identity that matters, but instead it's the vile acts they commit
