Producing the storyboard and script

As a group we all began by sitting down and discussing our different ideas and the different themes for our story. We drafted these ideas onto a moodboard and gave a presentation infront of the class about what we can come up with.

Our original idea was that there is a stalker on the loose that has escaped from a local prison. The audience is aware of this, but our protaganists are not. The main characters, robyn, sam, katie, and katie's friend are all going camping in the woods, which eventually turns out to be the place where the stalker is hiding. Previously, the stalker has already killed another character, mair, due to her trait of wearing bright red lipstick (which is his fetish as a killer). Unfortunately this is a trait that the main character Robyn also shares. We find out he has been stalking robyn for the past few weeks and has made a shrine about her, all due to her bright red lips, the motif sticking throughout the story. The killer finally kills robyns friends one by one in the woods, until there is just Robyn left and there is a final dramatic climax.

Sadly, due to katie leaving, we had to tweak the script quite alot, to include less characters.

The new idea is that Robyn and her new boyfriend Sam are the main characters. They witness a news report telling them a local stalker has been on the loose from prison and robyn begins to panic because she believes that she is being stalked. They shrug it off and decide to continue with their plan to go camping, on the way to the location, robyn and sam have an argument causing robyn to storm off and continue to the secluded location alone, she eventually finds her friend mair already there. They begin to get quite scared, so robyn runs off to find sam. This is the point at which mair is left alone, and she is killed. The story plans out to eventually reveal that Sam was the killer all along and that Robyn has been in danger.
