Thrillerwork - Costume and Make-up - Sophie Miller (Victim) - Inspiration

Our victim should represent the stereotypical blond and attractive female victim in thrillers or Horror-films like "Scream", American Psycho", "Psycho" and "Inglorious Basterds".
We want to present our victim as innocent and weak to make her pitiable and let the audience sympathise with her. That will create a moral conflict in the audience, because they will like the funny and charismatic killer, but they also will sympathise with the innocent and helpless victim.
Moreover our target audiences, men around 30 and around 18, will fancy a young and attractive woman.
However we want to show clearly that the killer has completely has desecrated the victims innocence. So we are not going to present our victim with clean blond hair and a white dress. We are going to present her in a dirty, bloody and worn dress, the hair dirty and messy as the face is.The inspiration for our victim is the young Shoshanna Dreyfus  running away from Hans Landa. ("Inglourious Basterds")
