How are the characters in our main task going to be represented?

What is a stereotype?
This is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of  particular type of person or thing.
We are using a female as the victim in our main task. This is stereotypical because most horror movies use females as the victims because it would just be too much work to use a man. We are using a female because we want to make it easier for the audience to understand and also to make the audience feel like they know the character and it will give them a simplified image of the character. Our main task is based is on a girl who is lonely and lost her mother so she has been emotionally shaken up by that. This is a great stereotype because in most cases you won't find a man outwardly expressing their emotions whereas women do which makes it seem as if women are emotional, vulnerable and sensitive which is exactly what we want to portray in our main task. Whoever is out to get her was basically meant to be a man at first seeing as men are the ones who are meant to be strong and in most cases they could be categorised as evil and more clever and they always get their victims which is why most horror movies use men as the villains but then we decided to go against the stereotype to use a woman as the person out to get her. This is going to be challenging because most people are obviously going to expect it to be a man who is the evil one because that is how it is in most horror movies. But we are going to find a way to do it. Our inspiration could be The Ring where the villain is a girl named Samara Morgan.

Story board for our main task

The first frame in our main task will be a long and an establishing shot of a shot. We might use a slow zoom and pan. And diegetic sound of an organ playing in the background.

The second frame will be a high angle, point of view of the inside of the church where our main character will be seated on a pew. Footsteps will be heard accompanying the organ music.

                                                                                                       

The black silhouette will be of the attacker, standing behind the main character. At this point, the organ music accelerates. The camera pans to face the girl, from the previous frame where there is the point-of-view of the attacker. It is also a mid shot.

The close up shows the main character crying for the loss of her mother. The next frame could be an extreme close up of her eye, opening when the attacker strikes and then a transition to the next shot.






Long shot of the grave-yard-when the attacker carries the girl's body across the graveyard and buries her alive. Another piece of music could be added here.

The end frame can be a close up shot of the grave stone of the girl's late mother. Here, the credits will end and there will be another transition to indicate the end of our main task. 

The idea of having her mother's gravestone and having her buried alive inside/ beside the grave is quite interesting, and could be developed in the later stages of filming.
