"Claudia is a girl in her twenties. As a child she was left alone to develop with little parental guidance and through her relationship with T.V. movies developed an unhealthy relationship with Horror films, believing this to be the way life really is.
All the scenes take place in various parts of Claudia’s apartment, which is European in style with a great deal of kitsch décor. She is agoraphobic and is kept in touch with the outside world by her neighbours who provide her with her every day requirements. She models herself on a variety of girls often twisting her look to suit whichever film she is watching at the time and there is often a nod to the main character in the current film within her appearance.
The
script portrays her as psychotic and there is always the feeling that
although her character is scripted/can be seen as humorous, danger is
just around the corner. However all this is normal to Claudia and she
is of a cheerful disposition in this mad world of hers."
My chosen word for Claudia is "Spiral", because it reminded me of Claudia's mind spiralling out of control between reality and the world she has created for herself. It also reminded me of her mood 'spiralling' in and out of happiness, she can just turn all of a sudden and become paranoid and angry. This makes her a very unpredictable person to be around and in contact with which is probably why Mrs Laderman seems to be the only one who see's her out of choice as not many people want to.
This is the image I found for the word 'Spiral' as it looks very dark at one end and quite light at the other, to represent Claudia's two different moods.
