Characters

Deborah Logan — elderly woman, complex blend of vulnerability and menace.

Visual & Technical Notes

Mix interview setups (talking heads) with vérité footage and night-vision/security cams.
Gradually degrade image quality during supernatural peaks (glitches, color shifts).
Use close-ups on hands, eyes, and written notes to suggest internal change.
Keep color palette muted; increase contrast in climax.

Dialogue & Interview Tips

Keep interviews conversational, slightly improvised-feeling.
Use professional medical language early to legitimize the documentary, then contrast with emotional/candid moments.
Let Deborah’s speech alternate between lucid, childlike, and menacing.
