Account of Re-filming and New Ideas-

After filming our first rough cut, we as a group decided that we wanted to completely change our idea. So for our plot and story line, we have changed the rough cut into two people, a man and a women sitting in their front room watching the news. On the news there is a montage of the clown craze that happened around the time that we filmed. Unknowingly to them, there is a clown indeed outside their house trying to get in. The female character goes out into the kitchen and make a cup of tea. As she goes back into the living room there is a terrifying shot of the clown looking through the door.  Another scary shot was included when the camera was filming the two characters sitting on the sofa, and the clown is standing behind looking at them through the window.  After they watch TV for a while, the two characters go up stairs and leave the door unlocked. The clown then has an easy access into the house and follows them upstairs. The opening is finished with the dragging of the baseball bat up the stairs with slow scary clown music adding to it. After the filming of the rough draft these are the factors that we needed to consider;

- Remove some extras
- Film Tv with news reports
-Show clown stalking
-More focus ion the baseball bat
- Film kettle to build tension
- Film clown going up the stairs
- Adding more camera angles
- Change lighting


After the second set of re-filming, we were able to come together as a group and think about whats going to make our film the best it can be. we made changes to the plot. For example there were more shots added of the two characters in bed. As well as this, the group decided that it would be clever to film the intruder washing his bloody hands right at the end, to insinuate what had happened, without actually showing it. This is all done to create a sense of mystery and suspense which will make the audience want to watch the rest of the film. We also focused on the camera angles and shots that were taken, as some didn't really make sense and could have looked messy to the audience. For example there is a shot of the female main character stirring the tea with her left had, when the camera is also on the left side of her. In order to make this better and more professional, we changed her hand to the right hand which opened up the shot and made more sense.
