Clown Costume Preview

Our Lovely Model Nicky Is Demonstrating How The Costume Will Look.

Brought Props From Town Visit

While Shopping For Clown Props We Found These Masks For 25p Each. We Thought It Would Be Creepy And Effective To Have Them Round His Room Or On The Wig Stands. We Got Different Ones As We Wanted A Range Of Items Not Just The Same Thing On His Desk.

We Only Needed Enough Face Paints For One Day Of Filming So We Chose To Buy This Small Group Of Colours. The Face Paints Will Add Alot Of Effect Onto The Character.

We Were Thinking Of Hiring Out A Clown Costume For 2 Days As It Would Only Cost £15 But As We Didn't Have Our Actors Size's With Us So We Went To Chariety Shops. We Brought PJ's (Pink/Red Top And Bottoms) And Yellow Pants. We Found It Hard Trying To Find Clothes We Thought Would Look Good But Then We Found These Items For £8 Together. We Were Happy With The Outcome.

We Brought Some White Gloves, A Bow Tie And A Red Nose. We Thought White Would Contrast With The Character (As Connotations Of White Are Pure And Innocence). After Opening The Packaging And Getting The Gloves Out We Thought They Wouldn't Fit Our Actors Hands. Luckily, After Letting Him Try Them On They Have A Snug Fit To Them. The Nose Is A Sponge One Because Filming Can Go On For Hours And We Wanted The Actor To Feel Comfortable. The Bow Tie Was Commical And Added To The Clown Image.
This Wig Was Perfect! We Were Hoping To Get A Ginger One But The Red Will Work Better Because The Connotations Of Red Are: Blood And Danger. The Wig Will Add Alot Of Effect Onto The Character!

The Wig Heads Looked Quite Scary Themselves And We Managed To Pick All 4 Up For Absolutely Nothing! I Think They Will Add Effect To 'Jack's' Room.

Research

We've looked into other Thriller opening sequences to get inspiration for our own 2 minute sequence. These included Se7en, Cape Fear, Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder, Casino Royale.

Treatment

Our Thriller sequence is called 'Jack'. The target audience certificate is a 15. This is because it shows violence, drugs, horror and imitable techniques (knifes)

The concept of the film is about clown who is mentally unstable. He wants revenge on the children who bullied him when he was younger. He has dedicated his life to killing the bullies children.

Our opening sequence begins by a radio sound in the background while the studio name and production company appears on a black screen. The first image is a hand turning on a light hanging down from the ceiling. Then, a flash up of the Directors name is shown. We see his knifes on his desk all lined up neatly, in order of size. This shows the clown has obsessive compulsive disorder. The camera then shows many objects on his desk and items around his room including a lot of blood stains. He looks through his year book scratching out his next victim. The phone then rings, it is a parent asking if Jack could attend a last minute party for her child. It is revealed that the original clown for the child's party was murdered by Jack as he wanted to be able to attend the party so he could kill the bullies child for revenge.
