For the script we have chosen to use minimal sound, to add effect and suspense. At the beginning we have a voice over of the antagonist which is Tia wondering what has happened and having flash backs of the chase. He have attempted to emulate 'Bates Motel' as when Norman looses his mind he forgets what has happened when he gets angry and kills but we have gone against the typical stereotype of the murderer being a masculine male and reverse it to be a petite teenage female in casual attire. By doing this we have avoided the cliché of a school girl. The typical connotations of a female that is feminine is the they are inferior and weak but we will manipulate the camera with low angles on the antagonist making her look more superior and using high angles to make the protagonist weak.
Our storyboard shows that our piece will take place in the woods. This is a stereotypical location for a thriller/horror film to take place. We have two roles, the role of the antagonist and the role of the protagonist. The antagonist, played by Tia goes against stereotypical connotations of a female role in the thriller genre.
