The Mr and Mrs comfort pictures gave me an idea of a twisted beauty and beast.
Claudia is a young Girl Trapped in a Asylum due to her personality disorder. Claudia has created an alter-ego/personality Quentin. She becomes Quentin when she feels angry , upset or vulnerable. Quentin often appears with an alien like face. This is because Claudia feels like an alien and like nobody understands her. He also sometimes appears with a mutilated mouth. This is because Claudia wishes he would shut up half the time as his thoughts are usually harmful or depressing. The audience will often see Claudia and 'Quentin' have arguments in the cell (Whiles Claudia looks into a mirror). Sometimes it would seem like a marital squabble or something a lot more scary and abusive. Claudia will appear on a 'Good day' (whatever that is in an asylum), Quentin appears on bad days (depressed, self harming , suicidal Claudia) Though you occasionally see them together when one personality attempts to break through.
The Scene you first meet Claudia and Quentin.
*The Camera explores the asylum looking into each cell at each patient. The audience will see patients either child like and playful, Crazy and possessed or rocking in the corner.
The camera pauses at Claudia's room. You see a young, dirty haggard girl looking into the mirror. You see her lips move but hear no sound. As the camera comes closer you can hear Claudia arguing with her reflection.
Claudia: ' Leave me alone they told me you are not real!'
You hear a voice reply but you can't see the reflection at this angle.
Strange Deep Voice: 'Just imagine, everyone of these fools hanging from the ceiling up there. So beautiful'
The camera is still slowly zooming in then you catch a glimpse of something. An alien like face stares back at Claudia
What do i need to do next?
I need to watch ahs asylum again and focus more on costumes and i will need to look at videos of real patients with personality disorder to research there mannerisms and traits.
