Ways which the doll can be manipulated:

- Changing costume.

- Using AfterEffects/PhotoShop.

- Physically manipulating the prop.

- Using lighting and setting in order to alter the tone of the prop.

Examples of this are shown below

Issue 2 - Using an older looking actor

Here is an example of an actor which could easily be used as a main character who appears to be in his early/mid 20s.

Issue 3 - Synopsis

Action plan from pitch 2:

Re-think how the synopsis can focus more on the dolls, ideas include the discovering of the dolls in the attic, seeing the dolls in photographs when viewing them, items being destroyed or moved with the dolls at the scene, the absence of some of the dolls when trying to find them, other occurrences which could be massively representative of the horror genre and fear.

Synopsis:

After discovering a large box of china dolls in the attic of their house while looking for old photographs, X begins to notice things in the house being moved and broken. They mention to a parent about the dolls that they found and they face an unusual reaction of hostility and aversion to talking about the dolls, they are discouraged from going up into the attic and interacting with or opening the box again. After pressing their parent, they discover that in their childhood they acted unusual, in a way which reflected the symptoms of possession. After asking someone who was well versed on the subject, they performed a ritual where they entrapped the spirit in a group of objects. A group of objects due to the strength of the entity, which were then stored away with intention to never be freed. X, finally allowing them-self time to look at the photographs which they found in the attic, discovers the dolls in the background of various demonic looking photographs of his younger self, and from the corner of his eye he sees what looks like a china doll. In a panic he races to the attic to check on the dolls where he finds an open box with noticeably fewer dolls in it, and the ones which did remain were visibly moved. This is where he begins to be tormented by the dolls, where a vengeful entity is fighting to conduct the possession of X.

(X is representative of the main protagonist due to the fact that the name hasn't been deciphered. Gender neutral pronouns will be used until the gender of the protagonist is decided.)
