The story of the film (were the full length feature ever to made) is, a group of friends at someone's house, they start to discuss childhood fears, the audience can see through the window someone looking in at them, one of the teenagers mentions being afraid of clowns. The doorbell sounds but no one is expecting anyone else to turn up and so are confused. One of the boys opens the door, the clown is stood there, tilts their head and says "Boo". This leads to the teenagers being chased around the house, being forced in to rooms and corners before the clown stabs each of them to death with a carving knife.
The trailer of the film, however, shows just the main conversation, some scenes of people being chased up stairs, one being stabbed and others being chased into a room.The end of the trailer is the clown's entrance.

This is my original storyboard. When filming my video I made many changes to it, but kept to the basic structure of thestoryboard. For example, I changed the text in the video to credits of the film, and replaced it with the male voice over; I added a montage of shots to coincide with the music I added to video, as well as many effects such as cross fades between shots and crash sound effects to emphasise the impact of shots. I think the changes which I made are an improvement to the video.
