So after a huge confusion and thought about how i am going to relate my story with the three words which are farm, matchbox and taxidermist, i finally came to an conclusion.
First the scene and its environment : the scene consist of a lonesome farm further away from the town with a bit cinematic old fashioned look, and the farm has lots of animals but which aren't actually real animals as they or dolls who look real like.
Second the character and concept : The character is a lonesome taxidermist who is thin, looks lifeless and has a dull grim look on his face.
Since i didn't know what to do with the matchbox, i came with an idea of relating the matchbox to something of the characters past as a feeling of something sinful being committed. And i am planing to develop this idea to a bit tragic and happy ending =/.
I can just feel the clock ticking for this brief and i know its gonna get harder ;)..

Hey Shafi - the idea of the taxidermist filling his farm with stuffed animals is really nice and has the uncanny flavour of Unit 3; I also like the idea of the matches associated with a dark secret; I'm thinking now that maybe, as a child the taxidermist was playing with matches and burned downed his parents house - killing his whole family - so maybe he's lonely, and has 'recreated' a happy homestead; perhaps it's not animals he's surrounded himself by, but by a cat and a dog... and then stuffed versions of his own family in an act 3 twist? But also consider this - scarecrows (on farms) are 'stuffed people' and scarecrows are made of straw and so terrified of matches...? Keep moving the story components around, Shafi - and yes, the clock is ticking! :-)
Hi Phil
i had the same concept behind it about the taxidermist
burning his house in an accident and to have
some strange human doll in the farm hidden.
This concept somewhat reminds me off house of wax
though house of wax was a total horror movie.
I am also thinking of taking this story to man vs supernatural.
with a cocept as once dead cant be brought back to life but could be added life through memories.
