Idea 1

I thought about having only one picture enlarged to represent the stalker and his passion/obsession. This is because i felt that sometimes one image is enough to show a lot to the audience if it is mad effective enough. Here are some of the ideas i had for this one image. 
Whilst experimenting some of the images, i came across a very good idea for the final piece. This image shows the victim as a very sexy femme fatal figure (through the red). This represents the downfall the woman is having on the stalker, as it is not only the person who is being stalked that suffers from stalking, but also the stalker himself, as he has to go through a lot of effort to only be neglected and unloved from the woman he is stalking. 
I have doubled her image because it gives a sense of hallucination, and it represents the stalkers mind.

I thought about having a black and white image showing the effect the person being stalked has to go through. For example, This image shows the distress the girl is going through from all the letters and mail she gets from this stalker. Even though she tried to put it all together, she can't because the stalker makes sure he hides his identity. This frustrates the person being stalked, and also the audience viewing the image, as it has a very effective point to it. Making the image black and white makes it look quite classy and the absence of colour allows us to see the contrast between the colours in the image, making it look very effective and dark. 

Idea 2

Another idea i had was to create some sort of collage to sum the stalker's obsession up. 
For example, the colour picture on the left shows the girl he is stalking, next to her i could put images that represent her, or the things he loves about her most, to show what makes him so attracted towards her, and her identity. This way i can sum up everything onto one picure which would look very effective.





I also had the idea of creating a mosaic, as shown below. I could have done something along the lines of this, but maybe have pictures of her doing daily life routine things. I wanted to do this because it shows that the stalker loves putting the puzzles of her life together, and he collects a lot of information from everywhere to create the one big image of her.

Idea 3

I then thought about making a wall with one of the pictures of the victim duplicated a few times. This showed the stalkers passion over the woman, but also the obsession over her, that he had to cover the same image all over his walls for him to be satisfied. 
I used this image of Louise because it's quite happy and charming, it makes the victim look very innocent too.

I then thought about covering not one, but all the walls with the one image, because it again showed the obsession he has over her as he has to cover the walls af if it is a wallpaper. 

Final idea

For my final idea, i decided to blend all these ideas together as much as possible, because i liked all of these ideas quite a lot. I decided that I would make a stalker's room, (taken from idea number 3) where he has a lot of images of her that he got hold of from somewhere (shows he is persistent and will get her information from anywhere, taken from idea number 2). I would use the neo noir pictures i took for the project to do this, to give a sense of femme fatal (as shown in the first idea.) The rest of my idea is shown and planned in the final idea page.
