Intertextual References

This is listed under my "Inspiration" for the plot.
Se7en: This is in the sense of the opening sequence - lots of softly lit, extreme close ups, diagrams, photographs and anonymous hands.
Dexter: Dexter values his victims on how bad their crimes are as to whether or not he will end their lives. Aaron in my plot believes that it is okay to kill someone if they are unclean as to purify their soul and not let them defile him. Also the opening sequence to the show has lots of close ups of hands doing certain things, such as slicing. While not quite so explicit, there will be lots of shots of Aaron doing things which are everyday - washing a knife, etc.
The Doomsday Killer: This is a character from the sixth season of Dexter. He bases his killings on the book of Revelation and he believes it is okay to kill if because the victim will end up being granted access to heaven because of their sacrifice. This is similar to Aaron basing a kind of code on the book of Leviticus, as well as the purification. There is also a senior man who dictates what the Doomsday Killer does, which is similar to how Aaron looks up to a superior in his cult. He tells Aaron that their deaths with grant them redemption.
Leviticus: This book in the Bible details unclean sexual behaviours, food and items such as clothing. This is the basis which Aaron bases his murders on - if there is someone does something he deems to be unclean, he will act on instinct to commit murder.

Martha Marcy May Marlene: In this film, a young girl is riddled with flashbacks over her experiences of a cult - which is a similar situation to Sadie, who is also tormented by this. The cult has destroyed and taken over her life.
Body of Lies: There is a W.H. Auden quote at the beginning of the film. I will use a quote from Leviticus at the beginning of my own sequence, with the colours inverted - a white background with black, serif font.

A Mother's Son: The style of the fonts (a classic, serif font) and the way in which they appear on the screen for the opening credits, will be similar to those in my own piece, but will be a different font most likely and a different colour.
