Real Issues or Just Overthinking?

     As I've been on my break from both school and this project, I've had a lot of time to think about the logistics of my plot and how I want the audience to interpret it.  I've mentioned this before, but one of my biggest fears going into this project was actually making the plot understandable.  I want to make sure that I don't give away the actual twist of Amon only being a materialization of Vincente's subconscious this early, because after all this is only a film opening.  But at the same time, I want to make it understandable enough that the audience can tell that their is something off, without any of the techniques I use being too goofy and on the nose.  

    I already came to the conclusion that I was going to introduce Amon in strange ways, like them popping up in the scene without any explanation to stick to that surreal essence.  I'm just afraid that it's not going to come across the way that I want it to.  I think while editing, I might need to amp up the techniques that are going to work together to make this piece actually surreal, so that the viewer questions the entire piece, and not just Amon's strange appearances, so it feels like it has more of a point rather than a random technique that sticks out like a sore thumb.  

    I'm excited to start editing now that I think I've found a solution to this probably imaginary problem.  I think if I really play into the camp and avant-garde aspects I wanted to from the first place without fear, then I'll succeed in having this piece come out in the way I want.
