Alter ego is seen as a second self to be different from a persons original personality, some believe that they live a 'double life' due to this and the disorder has been popularized in many films, such as mystery and murder films. We decided upon this idea in order to fit the genre and create a more mysterious story line as well as educate people on personality disorders as it is a growing thing in todays world. We felt that it would create a tension and atmosphere in the film that would keep the audience engaged as our character Vera is unstable and is carrying out actions that come with great consequences.
Many films have incorporated the thought of alter egos and some examples of these are...
Mr Brooks
