Film Outline

This is our Film Outline for our 2 minute Horror Film 'Peek a Boo'. We wanted the shots for the scenes to be attention grabbing by using a lot of cuts to make is un easy and very tense keeping the audience engaged at all times. As well as the editing we want our shots to be short so that the variety of shots and angles creating the gloomy atmosphere we are intended.

Feedback

* You should use a younger girl instead of a teenager
 - because of difficulty finding a suitable actress that we can film we had to change the character to a teenager. However a younger girl may be used for the home video footage as we will use one of our own childhood videos.

* Clown needs to be effective
 - We will do this by using make up effectively and using the correct lighting to reflect the clown.
 - by using a short flash of the image instead of a long one this will create more of a threat to the audience.
 - we will make the clown look different from the other objects in the room, this will create make the clown look more mysterious and threatening.

* Audience need to know what is happening while the lights go out
 - We will use sound to let the audience know what is happening, i.e doors creaking, footsteps etc.

* Develop the background story
 - we will put the toy clown in shot while the girl is playing so the audience can see the connection between them.

* You need to expand the film outside of one room
 - We have changed the narrative so that the story involves more than one room by making a ball roll out the door and therefore make the girl follow it.
