'The Babysitter' Story Board


With the character of 'The Babysitter', although they don't mention her actual age, it says "A married couple were going out for the evening and called in a teenage babysitter", it also mentions she has a boyfriend so I am basing my character around the age of 17, so that she is young enough that she evokes empathy but old enough to make the character sexy and attractive. As a young girl, it is clear she is being mentally tortured by the killer and this is key to remember when styling and shooting the character. Mental angst can be portrayed through make-up by distressing the skin, adding tear stains and stress lines to make the character look visibly distraught. I chose to use stills from horror movies involving telephones and young girls because that is exactly what happens in the myth. The killer threatens her through the phone, so the use of those shots helps me to visualise the fear and how it is portrayed in different films. The colour scheme with the hair and skin tone are all accurate to my chosen model, helping me to reference when styling.
