Out of Sight-Out of Mind

The film is based off of the idea that something is easily forgotten or dismissed as unimportant if it is not in our direct view. It's not too late to switch your train of thought to let the abandoned be observed.

I played with that thought even further and had the red string act as this intense feeling of manipulation. Shortly after the characters are covered in the red string-they are covered in paperbags-again with the: out of sight, out of mind theme. Slightly refering backwards to the idea that once the mind is convinced something is unimportant-it blocks it out.

However, towards the end of the film, a character displays enough courage to defy popular belief and is able to break free-by taking off the paper bag. Then the character lets out a call and two others follow. Inbetween I jump back into two characters in the woods who are still covered in the paper bags. They represent those who are too stubborn to see things a different way.

Then, the three characters who took off the paper bags and revealed their black faces (they're starting over from scratch-they're able to create/mold themselves) hold hands and fall into the water, as if declaring their freedom officially and escaping from everything that's happened.
