Make Up Design

The first sheet for the make up design was the threat in the film IT and he had a big impact on the ideas for our film. He looks very powerful and scary and this inspired our work and the threat being a clown in our own film. When we deisgned the makeup for the threat, we used bold colours which would attract the audience when we used a close up at the end of our short film of the clown, because it is dramatic and will frighten the audience.

Location

When deciding the location for our horror film we wanted the location to be related to the audience watching to make them feel uneasy and fearful because of the threat involved with the location. Having a clown 'haunt' the household we felt that this could be effective and also make the victim look weak and vulnerable.

Lighting Design

When deciding what lights to use and how to make it a dark and threatening atmosphere we decided that using natural light and the lights from the house would be the most effective as they bring the threat to reality, making the audience feel uncomfortable as they feel that this could happen to them. We also wanted to use the touches as they created a great shadowing effect when shooting the clown. 

Initial Ideas

We chose to make a physiological horror film as we thought it would be the most realistic sub-genre that we could create with a strong sense of realism. We chose to use a girl because of the dominant ideologies   and so it would be conventional of the horror genre.

Film Outline Sheet 2

At the end of our film opening we fade the screen to black, the reassures the audience that the scene has ended to avoid confusion.

Health and Safety

We ensured that the area that we filmed in was a safe environment with no health hazards. We also made sure that no props or equipment that we used could become a danger.
