Filming

We arrived at Karen's house to film the two minute sequence in her small shed. Another reason we decided to film at Karen's was because her dad was playing the character of the clown, so we thought it was only fair for him to stay within his own house.
When we arrived we met our actor and he got changed into his costume, then nicky put on his make up which we bought from town. We got the inspiration of his make up was from the clown IT, we researched the clown on the internet and used the picture to get ideas from.
We all went outside to Karen's shed, we took all the props out with us and positioned everything into place. This included his desk with objects such as newspaper with blood stains over it, candles, cans, wig stands, clown masks on the wall with ripped out newspaper articles with it, ash tray, knife, mirror and make up.
After we had set up the set we started filming the first scene. It was hard to get the right lighting for the shoot and we filmed it in daylight. We thought of an idea of holding up black bin bags up to the window to try and block out the light to create a dark, dingy feel to his room. We took turns filming each of the scenes so we all was able to participate within the film. We told our actor to take a break whilst we took a member of our crew to the bus stop. On our way back it started rain heavily and because of this, we had to halt filming which meant we were behind schedule. By the time the rain stopped, unfortunately we ran out of time. This meant that Karen had to finish off the rest of the shots the next day without us as we could not attend.
