We have chosen to follow the 5 stage narrative
structure because our ideas fit in well with this
theory. The theory consists of 5 main parts:
Exposition – Setting scene, introducing characters.
Development – Situation develops, more characters
introduced.
Complication – Something happens to complicate
lives of characters.
Climax – decisive moment reached, matter come to
head, suspense high.
Resolution – Matters are resolved and satisfactory
end is reached.
5 Stage Narrative Structure
3.
During the opening scene, we have decided to do a couple, Ava and
Noah, being introduced first. They are a couple sitting in a park at
night time when it’s reasonably dark, and suspense will build where
the audience will know something is going to happen. The swings
will slightly swing, the roundabout will slightly spin and the girl
will be visibly scared. The boy will laugh and joke around and pan
the camera around him and you can see the clown behind him. The
boy jumps and drops the camera and you hear screams and shouts
and see the boy dead on the floor, the girl is frantically trying to run
and ring her dad at the same time but she trips and the clown goes
to pick her up. The shot switches to the dad picking up the phone
and just hearing screams until the girl is muffled and the shot
switches back to the clown walking away with the girl and at the
end the title will appear.
This sets the scene and introduced the characters such as the dad
(who is the chief of police), Ava (the chief of police’s daughter) and
the Clown (the murderer).
Exposition
4.
Situation develops by showing the audience that the
clown does this to a lot of girls, not just this one, he
has a lot of captured girls. It would also show his
living arrangement and where the girls are kept, e.g
the basement.
It would also show that there is not only one clown,
but multiple clowns that are killing the males and
capturing females.
More in depth detail on the character of the dad as
chief of police. The case will be closed because of
lack of evidence but the dad attempts to take it into
his own hands.
Development
5.
The clowns find out find that the chief of police
is trying to find them and rescue the girls and
his daughter so they stalk the house until they
know that the dad has gone out and then 4 of
the clowns surround the house late at night
knowing that the wife is the only one in. They
then enter quietly and stab the wife. They leave
her body in the middle of the floor with the
knife still in her and there are finger prints on
the knife.
Complication
6.
The knife was sent to forensics and they know the
general area of where the Clowns could be, the dad
goes to the general area and looks everywhere, he
looks through all windows and through a gap he
sees three clowns inside. The dad pressed the signal
to alert the police and they being to head to him. The
clowns all turn and look at the gap where the man is
and he jumps back a bit and the fourth clown was
standing behind him, grabs him and drags him
inside.
The clowns proceed to beat him and stamp on him
until he is close to death and the police arrive at the
same time as the clown is about to stab the chief of
police.
Climax
7.
The police shoot the clown in the face that was
going to stab the chief of police. The other three
clowns who were unarmed were cuffed and
arrested.
The films ends with the police kicking down a
locked door and finding all of the captured
girls and the daughter of the chief of police
runs out and hugs her dad, she is visibly
bruised from being beaten.
