Synopsis

Our main task tells the story of a teenage girl (Rosy Azram) who commit's suicide after years of torment from a school bully (Beth Killeen).
The opening is basically a flash forward to the end of the movie, showing the ghost of the victim haunting her bully and ending her life through a voo doo doll. Beth is filmed whilst in the bath and the point of view camera shot represents Rosy creeping up the stairs and the door handle opens seemingly by itself then Rosy appears in the corner of the bathroom.
Rosy then looks up and stabs the voo-doll into its heart and Beth appears to have been stabbed and gasps, breathing heavily. The camera then turns to Rosy focusing on her devilish eyes and then pans back to a murdered Beth sinking back into the bath surrounded by blood.

Following this there is a grave yard scene in which Rosy explains to the audience reasons for her suicide and why she murdered her bully.

The genre of our film is a mild horror but also takes a light hearted approach to representing a modern day issue that is bullying.
Our film has intentions of hitting home to the viewer that this is an everyday happening, obviously the voo-doo aspect of the film could be considered highly fictional yet deeper into the film in which it would show Rosy's day to day victimising and humiliation is all purely based on fact.



Research:

We made some research into poses in which we could use in the bath dying scene, then we came across the Ophelia work by artist John Everett Millais, completed in 1852. The photograph depicts Ophelia a character from the Shakespeare play Hamblet, singing before she drowns in a river in Denmark.
Ophelia's pose—her open arms and upwards gaze—resembles traditional portrayals of saints or martyrs, but has also been interpreted as erotic.
