When deciding the mood for our film, we wanted to go with a light and feminine feel. We thought giving our protagonist the appeal of a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' would make her an unexpected candidate to kill her husband. Her clothing being sweet and inviting, her personality kind and docile, and the scenery that surrounds her being comfortable. Throughout, the plot evolves with the same retro mise en scene. To viewers, this may cause a similar reaction to psychological horror.
Other than mise en scene, Abby was insistent on keeping Mary Janes relevant. As 'Mary Janes' is the name we're planning on using for the movie opening, we believed it'd be fitting for her tradwife cover. Another consistent prop is her trusty butcher's knife she hides in her kitchen drawer. This knife lies over the photos of her past victims. Originally, I seeked inspiration from the early episodes of WandaVision, but the 50's retro scenery will be difficult to achieve. Hopefully we'll find an alternative. Whether it be cottagecore over retro.
