Doppelganger idea and make-up

As my film opening involves a doppelganger, I decided to take inspiration from Tomb Raider Underworld, as the main character, Lara Croft has a doppelganger that looks like her in the game.

One thing I noticed was that the doppelganger is far more pale, and her hair is red as well as her eyes being yellow.
I took the idea of the pale skin and dark area around the eyes and tried to recreate that on myself

In many films that have doppelgangers, they are shown to be stronger and faster compared to their real counterparts, as well as being evil. The slight difference in appearance is also very common, as doppelgangers are not exact duplicates of the original person, but very close copies, which is how they are often identified.

Title Ideas

• The Doppelganger
• The Double
• The Other
• Harbinger of Death
• Writer's Curse
• Rewriting Fate

Final Idea:

Rewriting Fate: Harbinger of Death

I'm using this as the title because it fits well with the plot of an author being transported into their own story and having to rewrite it from the inside, hence the 'Rewriting Fate' part. The 'Harbinger of Death' subtitle is meant to go with the second major plot of the film, which is that of the story, which is about a doppelganger. (Doppelgangers are said to be haringers of bad luck and have been said to appear to some people before they die)

New props

Props for the intro so far:

• clothes
• makeup to make myself look pale-faced but have darker around the eyes
• Short story

New Plot

As I am no longer able to do the original plot, I am currently working on a new one.

An early idea that I have already decided I cannot do is playing a video game, then going to sleep because I feel ill, then waking up in the video game. I was originally going to use Five Nights at Freddy's, but as that requires more than one person (someone needs to be the security guard, someone else needs to be the animatronics), I am unable to do this particular game. I was also going to do guitar hero but as that game uses licensed tracks for the most part, I am unable to do that too.

Another way I thought to do this was to make my own video game using RPG maker VX and have myself end up in that game instead, but creating a game, even a short one which consists of only a couple areas and minimal dialogue, is somewhat difficult.

My current idea for the new plot is that the main character is writing a story, in which the main character of the story dies at the end. The author feels ill afterwards and goes to bed to see if they feel better. They then wake up inside the story they wrote as the main character and realise that they need to change the events otherwise they will die at the end.
 The story will obviously be a horror one, and I likely will write the story that the opening is based around as a short story to help me further with the planning, which I will post a link to when it is done.

The short story is about the main character being chased by their doppelganger. I may have the intro recorded in first person, therefore I can be visible as the doppelganger, and someone else can be acting as me behind the camera.
