My short film

Inspiration:
My inspiration for my short film comes from several Horror films. The basis of my short film comes from the short film "The smiling Man" what I took from this is the idea of having "something" in the house while a adult and child is there.
I also took inspiration from the film "It" due to the recent "killer clown" phase I thought this would fit in with my horror film due to most teenagers and adults being scared of these "killer clowns".
Finally, I took inspiration from the classic "Halloween" as I plan to start my horror film in a similar way by using "Halloween 1993" but I also am doing the same sub-genre "slasher" as Halloween.

Title: "Clowning around"
Plot:
My short film is a combination of themes focusing mainly on Slasher, Revenge and killer clowns. The main idea of the film starts at the beginning where a child goes to a house as a clown for Halloween. He is bullied by three girls but mainly by the ring leader whose house it is. This is very upsetting for the boy and he is shown looking up in a sadistic way and letting go of a white balloon. We are then shown "Halloween 2016" and taken back to present day. The ringleader and her son are shown watching a childs television programme of a innocent clown. The girl then goes upstairs and we are shown a pair of hands through the letter box which then disappear and the boy goes to investigate the noise. The boy then walks upstairs and hears a fait giggling noise coming from his mothers room. He goes upstairs to investigate and in front of his mothers room is a white ballon covered in blood splatters and then a hand comes round the door. The boy slowly goes in the mothers room to witness a stabbing of his mother. We are then shown a close up of the "clown" with him giggling and smearing the mothers blood around his mouth then popping his balloon. Then the screen fades to black.
