Meet Hades Munch

 So I was thinking that I need to come up with a name for my character that symbolizes something more than just a name. I need to have my character have evil origins all the way from Its name to its Brain.

I researched on 200 names that mean death and found the perfect name, Hades. Many think of Hades and immediately recognize evil within its origins. People think of Greek Mythology and then remember that Hades is the "God of The Underworld". 

As shown above all I had to do was search the name Hades and all the colors were red which matches perfectly with the fact that my Film opening has to do with murder. I know In my opening Red will be an essential color used along with other colors like orange that may symbolize Flames and overall seems evil.

For the Last name I wanted to correlate it with the fact that the murderer is also a Artist. So, I decided to research Artists who paint about Murder and found the name Edvard Munch. I then proceeded to research Edvard Munch and saw paintings that have similar colors such as this painting below called "The Scream"



I wanted to honor the name Munch and have it symbolize that my murderer also likes painting and I chose Munch as the last name because of his obsession with painting crimes that the murderer in the opening has already completed.

And there we have our Main Character and Villain, Hades Munch. This symbolization of evil should be abundantly clear from the beginning in my opinion, but I will not be surprised if students do not immediately understand the reference.
