Justification of the title 'The Music Box'

The main reason why we decided to call our film the Music Box is because our Rapist, Billy, has an obsession with ballet dancers and usually in music boxes there innocent ballerina's, as it is commonly known for many little girls that want to be ballerinas when they grow up. We have then taken this symbolism of this toy and completely transferred it around into something dark and creepy as a prop associated with a killer.

The music box is shown in many points of our film, so that is made sure it is a key component to not only the film title, but as a symbol of Billy always being around me (the ballerina).

It is shown as a symbol of control when Billy is sitting in the car and it lies on the dashboard. When he slams it shut, the ballerina falls over whilst in dance practice and this shows that he is almost controlling her every move. It is also shows discreetly when I am running through he underground car park trying to escape from Billy and she casually runs past it. We played this clip on slow motion so the audience begin to realise that "The music box" is a symbol of Billy's where about.
