Her mark needs to be individual yet reflect her psycho schoolgirl personality. A doodle would be appropriate: it is both childish and easy to draw. We like the lipstick idea as it reflects her feminist personality, however we thought that a kiss would be too romantic, and would suggest that she is killing these men for a romantic reason.
So, we have decided to combine the doodle and lipstick, so that the schoolgirl killer draws red lipstick onto her victim. This would reflect her teenage female role, fulfilling the stereotype of a teen girl using make-up. It would also humilate the man, adding an element of light-heartedness and comedy to the horror sequence: merging the chick-flick and horror genres. Using red signifies horror and blood, so reflects the themes in the opening sequence.
