Shot Idea


Ive been thinking of rides to do certain shots on, and the movie uptown girls has these shots on the spinning cups. I think this type of shot will work very well for our trailer so we can film this at Winter Wonderland.

WINTER WONDERLAND

Quick plan for filming tomorrow at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
 We plan to go at around midday so that we can film in both daylight and as it begins to get dark at around 4-5pm.
I will be changing into the clown costume once we get there and we plan to try and go on some rides or some kind of fun house etc, so that we can capture some shots of the clown in interesting scenarios and in a fair ground environment. We want to capture shots that show the clown becoming evil e.g. looking out at people in the fair, being around people who perhaps cannot see him, hiding from people / potential victims etc.
Could include: -creepy waving -standing behind things -walking in crowds of normal dressed people

COSTUME ARRIVAL

Yesterday the costumes arrived in the post, along with the ring master costume which we are borrowing from someone. All the costumes are perfect and I think we did well with the money we had as the costumes do look really professional and fit the brief of each character. The mask in particular is really effective and scary and was definitely worth spending the most money on as it has great detail which will be picked up well on with close up shots etc. It will also increase the scariness of the clown considerably as it is really frightening and striking.

As the costumes have now arrived we will be able to begin filming scenes with characters involved, and will start with some shots of the clown leaving the ringmasters office, including some close ups and shots of the clown beginning to become evil and crazy after being drugged. These shots will be filmed in the dark corridor next to the study room at the main site school building, where it looks quite eery and is dark, with a door that can be opened for the clown to come out of, as if coming out of the 'ringmaster's office'.



CLOWN ACTOR

Jessie and I have decided that I will play the clown character as it will be a lot easier for us to organise filming and the person playing the clown won't actually be seen anyway due to the mask and baggy costume so it won't be obvious I'm not a typical clown character/actor.
