Research into Behaviours

As I was going to be acting in the short film I decided to research into the normal characteristics of a girl who is disturbed. 
I began by looking into serial killers and the normal traits these people have. I found that serial killers often have something which connects each murder to the next, for example a serial killer will use a specific weapon or technique when killing all victims.  I started to consider how I could incorporate this into my character I decided that I would experiment with all my victims. I will make sure that each experiment connects with one another in some way if it be writing or ropes tied around the experiments. 


I found that there are three groups of serial killers which are prepared, unprepared and mixed. I wanted my character to be prepared as I want the "murders" to be methodical and logical. Being a prepared serial killer will mean that I have a high IQ and will be very imaginative with my experiments. 


I began looking at why people turn into serial killers, many serial killers will have high IQ's but will have been neglected as a child. Children who had been neglected as children were more likely to use their IQ to plot elaborate killings.
