Synopsis of My Idea

 Our Idea

Our horror film opening includes a terrifying clown and a ordinary woman. We named our film 'Dead Funny' because its a play on words as 'dead' is a very negative word and 'funny' is a very positive word, meaning they're completely opposite. This should intrigue the audience and hopefully capture their imagination.

Our story begins with a regular housewife cleaning the dishes, in her kitchen.  Her home is just a normal house on a regular street. Nothing out of the ordinary you might think, but her world is about to change! As the camera films the house wife the camera will switch to the clown walking down that regular street. At first his footsteps will be slow and steady. The camera will capture the speed of his movements. 

Next the camera will return to the kitchen scene, where our innocent housewife will receive a chilling call from our evil clown. He will ask if she likes balloons! an innocent question with deadly intent.  Our housewife will ask the regular questions, like who is this? What do you mean? She will hang up but now a niggling seed has been planted in her head. 

The camera returns back to our clown. His footsteps are now picking up pace, he is moving with more purpose, adding to the building tension. A heartbeat can be heard and is speeding up ensuring the audience will be kept in suspense. 

Back in the kitchen the housewife hears the doorbell ring. Already slightly spooked by her phone call she walks slowly to the front door and peers thought the peep hole. Seeing nothing, she slowly unlocks the door and peeps out.  There on the doorstep is a balloon. Stepping out she gently picks up the balloon to examine further. The heartbeat that has been gradually beating faster  and louder suddenly stops when the balloon explodes, saturating the housewife in blood.


Selling points of our film

• Clowns have recently been featuring in the news a lot, as there has been a lot of clown spottings in many different citys and towns, so we thought that would be a good idea to use a clown in our opening because people would be more on edge watching a film about a clown.
• We are going to make the film as scary as possible if not people will not want to watch it as its just like any other horror and we need to make it different and new.
• Many people enjoy watching gory horror films that have a twist and this is what our horror film includes.
