Style of Executing Oedipus (Working Title)

Because the opening of the film shows two era’s:

The first: in the 1950’s of Gillians world

The second: in the 1970s of Caitlins world.

Gillian opening scenes will be Black and White where else Caitlins will be colour in the context of 8mm film – look. The reason why is because I would like the audience to be feeling the time space and perhaps a feel on time travelling themselves. Also, I if you look at Pleasantville it uses the same effect towards audience, only from Colour to Black and White.
Also, I wanted to create a visual outstanding like Jimarsh, where you walk through a door but end up in another ere and time. But Gillian also walks into colour: Not like the 8mm colour but a Video colour which shows the present time and she does act surprised with this.
I think also, it is a great way to introduce the dream in a magical realistic sense.
Gillian’s happy innocence where you sings freely in the bathroom and how she has a imaginary energy when she talks to her dolly Suzy about needing to go to the bathroom in the dark is her own conscience talking to herself to be brave. This part of the writing was inspired by Terry Gilliams, “Tideland”
How it will sound like:
I would like to create the dream scene a high auscotic sound to create coldness and emptiness, in the script you hear the sound on the water dripping which Gillian concentrates on to avoid contact with Caitlin. The reason, is because I want to interpretate to the audience of the lack of communication between Caitlin and Gillian. So the sound of the water dripping is a sense of filling the uncomfortable silence between themselves. You ever had those uncomfortable silences with somebody and you want a sound to bust through the door or a pin to drop? That’s what I mean.
