Today's lecture gave me some ideas as i went through the brief again.
My three words are:
Farm..
Match box..
Taxidermist..
I have chosen one idea of creating a suspence in my story. First i thought of something alien related and then more of a puzzle related story. I grabbed a book relating to story boarding and techniques in the library. I got a good concept of a suspense in my story but i also need to give some good thought about the length of the story and the content relating to my three words.
My story idea is a bit unfinished thought as i been trying to get some more ideas. The story starts from a
lonely farm with a spacious environment which is a bit far from town. With a Taxidermist who lives in it, he looks a little thin and grey with green eyes and he finds something strange last night to be happening around his farm.

Hi Shafi! Don't forget what Phil said about the story having logic... why would a taxidermist be living on the farm? Is he a farmer too? Does he stuff his farm animals maybe?
Yes Jackie
i realised it didnt meat any logic to the story so iam still working on it. =/
As a taxidermist is someone who skins animals and makes leather out of them. the charactor doesn't relate much to the farm but i got to use the 3 random words from the brief so i been giving a little thought to it of recreating the whole scene.=/ iam a bit confused..
Hello again! A taxidermist is actually someone who takes the dead animal and stuffs it, so that it still looks like a real animal... here are a couple of websites to have a look at!

Taxidermists would for example make the 'trophy heads' of wild animals that you sometimes see hanging on the walls...
You have a good connection to work with there really, what with the taxidermist needing animals, and the farm being full of them! You just need to think of a clever way to get the matchbox involved!! :)
ty Jackie
that really helped =).
