PLANNING: FILM TREATMENT

 Ideas for Film Opening

Our brainstormed ideas about the plot, the soundtrack

-a title that's dynamic and engaging

- the top line - elegant sentence that sums up the story

-the big question - cliff-hanger?
who is the clown? why is that person killed? how many others have been killed?

the synopsis - one or two paragraphs outlining the plot
dead person lying by the swings
cuts to news report. killer clowns sighted first time in 5 years. person murdered in the park. is it a coincidence?
cctv of person walking out of the park
flashback of person being killed in the woods


characters. brief introduction 
person who was killed
clown
newsreader - killer clowns sighted first time in 5 years. person murdered in the park. halloween
flashback to person being killed in the woods




Halloween, park swings at night. killer clown. 

news report killer clowns reported seen after 5 years. someone seen dead by the swings. person walking away.

  1. Evidence of useful brainstorming and initial planning. Complete this post, in particular, the title, top line, perhaps a bit more in the synopsis?
