At the beginning the woman is made out to be with the man. She falls in love with him, however, different scenes show him to not feel the same.
In one scene the woman is sat in a park drawing a picture of the man playing with a boy. The scene is shot from her point of view. Close up's of the woman are used to show her emotion and happiness. This make the audience think that they are together.
Later in the film the same scene is shown but from the mans point of view. The man is scared by the womans obsession, he finds pictures of him drawn by her. Eerie music is used to create tension and show that something is wrong

Beautiful mind
A biopic of the meteoric rise of John Forbes Nash Jr., a math prodigy able to solve problems that baffled the greatest of minds. And how he overcame years of suffering through schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize. From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash, Jr. experienced it all. A mathematical genius, he made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery. After many years of struggle, he eventually triumphed over his tragedy, and finally - late in life - received the Nobel Prize.
At Princeton University, John Nash struggles to make a worthwhile contribution to serve as his legacy to the world of mathematics. He finally makes a revolutionary breakthrough that will eventually earn him the Nobel Prize. After graduate school he turns to teaching, becoming romantically involved with his student Alicia. Meanwhile the government asks his help with breaking Soviet codes, which soon gets him involved in a terrifying conspiracy plot. Nash grows more and more paranoid until a discovery that turns his entire world upside down. Now it is only with Alicia's help that he will be able to recover his mental strength and regain his status as the great mathematician we know him as today.
John Nash goes through a myriad of highs and lows from his time as a Mathematics student in graduate school at Princeton in the late 1940's to his Nobel Prize win for Economics in 1994. A brilliant but somewhat arrogant and antisocial man, Nash preferred to spend his time with his thoughts, which were primarily of seeing mathematical formula associated with everyday occurrences, than with people. Two people he did make a connection with were Charles, his roommate at Princeton, and Alicia Larde, one of his students when he was teaching at M.I.T. in the early 1950's. He and Alicia eventually marry. As time goes on, Nash lives more and more within himself which causes major problems in his life. But Alicia stands by her husband to his redemption to the Nobel Prize win. Nash learns that his graduate school colleagues, with whom he had a cordial but somewhat distant relationship, are closer friends than he imagined, although in his later life he really does miss Charles' company more than anything despite knowing that spending time with Charles is not in his or anyone's best interest.
We have found that this is similar to Jekyll and Hyde.

Identity
Identity is a film about split personalities, this relates to our idea of Jekyll and Hyde. it uses the switching between two real people to make it look as though the two personalities are alive inside the mans head. This makes the audience aware of the split personalities within one person, making the psychology more easy in a visual way.
hide and seek
this film depicts the split personality that we have been studying in jekyll and hyde. it shows a man who doesnt

creep
we looked at the opening sequence to the film 'creep'. we feel that this could help us in the creation of our trailer to 'jekyll and hyde'. the film starts with the classic dark scene with 2 men walking down what seems to be a sewer in complete darkness with only torches to light the way. this is the classic setting for a horror movie, creating suspense and disequillibrium for the audience. we look to create this same feeling within our trailer. eventually the 2 men part from one another as as they find an estranged hole in the wall at one end of the sewer. one of the men is brave enough to venture down it, whilst the other 'chickens' out. the suspense is built up through the music and use of close ups of the characters. the music is highed pitched and elongated. we mainly follow the actions of the coward as he no longer hears his collegue and it has been a while since he has seen him. the dialogue also leads us to believe that something is wrong, such as: 'are you there?', 'are you playing a trick on me?'. the man then retraces his collegue's steps, with only a dull light to lead the way, giving a short range of view for the audience and the character. when the man find his collegue, he is in a heap on the floor, bleeding but still alive and in shock. we dont know what the man is looking at or why he is injured. the music at this point is very high tensity and very dense, making the audience feel really tense and worried for the injusred character. then the uninjured character turns around to see a comletely black doorway where a women, covered in blood, plunges forward and then is pulled back by an unseen character, leaving the opening sequence at a complete disequillibrium to the audience. we hope to make our opening sequence a similar standard of 'scariness' to this opening sequence.
