Title Alterations and 12 Stage Breakdown
Having developed the narrative of this project and the visual elements, I somehow knew that the working title of 'Horizons' was going to be changed. Having studied title cards and logos before film noir movies, I decided to explore a new title that based itself on the character that may not be seen in the finished film; 'The Lady in White'. The Lady in White is of course the woman that marries her cheating husband and thus the film relates to the wedding dress, or indeed the innocent and morally stable character; as appose to the characters that are involved in the affair. Even though she is not focused on within this film, the events and choices that are made are always with her in mind and so the 'mistress' and her lover shape their time around the woman that comes between their relationship - 'The Lady in White'.
