00:00 - 00:05

The opening sequence begins with an establishing shot to

show CLOWN is standing next to the street light. It's late

and isolated. Next there is another establishing shot,

behind the branches, to show that CLOWN is staring at one

point and waiting for something or someone.

00:05 - 00:10

The little GIRL is staring at the CLOWN from her window.

Next, close up shot of her face.

00:10 - 00:26

A flashback to when the CLOWN was a younger boy. His

parents are shouting/arguing, so he can hear their screams

in the background. He is sitting down in the corner of a

room playing/torturing a clown doll. Then close up on his

hand and toy to show how sadistic he is. Next, there is

long shot of boy throwing the toy and starting to cry.

00:26 - 00:34

Flashback to reality and the CLOWN is in the bathroom. On

the washbasin is make-up, which is used by Clown when he is

doing his make-up.

00:34 - 00:44

There is another flashback to his childhood. He is in his

bed trying to sleep, but he is unable to as he sees that

the clown toy is staring directly at him from his shelf.

Boy is terrified as he thinks that this clown doll is

alive. The fear in his eyes is shown by extreme close up

shots, following a close up shot of the clown’s eyes.

00:44 - 00:54

Flashback to reality again and the CLOWN is slowly putting

on his makeup. The variety of shots shows different stages

of Clown doing his make-up.

00:54 - 01:08

The little GIRL leaves her home and goes to Clown. While she

is walking to him, she drops her toy on the floor outside but

she didn’t notice it as she is staring at Clown all the time,

and she continues to walk forward. Then camera goes 270degree

around her and suddenly CLOWN appears behind her.

01:08 – 01:15

CLOWN is touching GIRL’s arm three times, then GIRL is

turning around to face him. He gives her clown doll, the same

which he was torturing when he was young. Through close up,

there is shown how GIRL is taking his clown doll.

01:15 - 01:18

Suddenly the CLOWN become aggressive and he strongly grabs

GIRL’s hand. GIRL wants to run away, but she cannot free

herself from CLOWN. Her body language shows that she starts

to be afraid of him. CLOWN pulls her to go with him.

01:18 - 01:22

At the end are variety of shots showing clown doll on the

bushes, which suggests that something happen with the GIRL as

she was holding this toy, when they were going away. Clown

doll on the bushes emphasise that CLOWN used this toy to lure

GIRL.
