I then worked solidly for hours trying to put some ideas together. I wanted my film to involve a revenge storyline, so someone was doing something horrific through the idea of payback. I thought about brainstorming ideas for what my perpetrator could be; these are a few ideas that I came up with:
- A kidnapper
- A murderer
- A torturer
- A stalker
I then came up with things that would be quite creepy:
- Masks
- A clown
- Someone burnt
- Someone dead but alive
- A monster
- Aliens
- The grim reaper/someone hooded
- An animal – but made to look creepy
I thought that if I took the idea of a clown and a stalker and combined the ideas together, this could make room for lots of scary but inventive ideas! This is a basic outline of what I was hoping for (for a storyline):
Man becomes a killer stalker dressed as an evil clown and gets revenge on people that have crossed him and ruined his life. In this film he tracks down a woman, finds where she lives and taunts her before entering her house. He ties up his victims and calves into their skin an imprint of a balloon – something that relates to him so that when the police find the bodies they know it was the infamous clown killer.
Clear evidence of decision changes, revision of ideas, planning commitment. It was worth the hard work!
