screech
​
the kitchen. INT. EVENING.
​
In the kitchen next to the clear doors the scene comes in seeing a girl getting food. The phone rings. The girl answers it almost immediately.
​
MAISIE: Hello
​
LOSTFACE: Hello Maisie
​
Maisie: How do you know my name?
Lostface: What's your favourite scary movie?
​
Maisie: (sarcastically) This is like that horror movie right? Y'know the one where that idiot girl gets killed in the first five minutes because she cant run fast enough?
​
Lostface: What?
​
Maisie: I'm not playing your games.
​
Maisie hangs up the phone, pushing it further back on the countertop. She signs heavily, going to make the rest of her food.
Lostface is behind her, he breaks the forth wall to turn around and look at the camera. Maisie freezes in place behind him in a freeze frame. Turning around slowly, Lostface moves a finger over his mouth, shushing the audience. When he begins to turn around, Maisie's freeze frame stops. She goes back to getting her food and he comedically creeps forward. She looks back quickly sensing something behind her and in turn he swerves to the side so she cant see him. Maisie shrugs and turns back around. She quickly turns to look from the other side, but the same thing happens again. He swerves round so that she cant see him. Both of these happen again.
​
She carries on with getting food and the music turns suspenseful, like jaws. He pulls the knife up above her and there's a close up on it.
​
Maisie: (Screams) Ahhh!
We see the fake pop up knife go into her shoulder it starts to bleed.
The garden. ext. evening.
​
We don't see it until she starts stumbling to the garden. Blood gurgles out her mouth and we see the wound in the garden. The knife is stuck in Masie's shoulder in a huge bloody wound.
Masie topples to the ground on her stomach.
​
Masie: (Screams) Ahhh! (withering and shaking)
​
Lostface is pulling the knife out of her shoulder. He gets it out all bloody then wipes it off with his hands, tilts his head and stabs her in the back.
​
Maisie's screaming carries on with the screech logo and music.

bY DRAIN. EXT. DAYTIME
​
A paper plane floats down the street on a rainy day, (or pour water) a person runs after it in a raincoat. It falls into the drain. From the drain (green screen take video of drain and green screen with character. PORGY leans down to get it.
​
PENNYWOE: Hiya porgy! (chuckling)
​
Porgies stills, eyes widening, so he does what any normal person would do.
​
Porgy: (Screams) Ahhh!
Porgy runs, slipping over in the rain.
​
Pennywoe: I was just hungry. (passive aggressive)
​
The scene shows porgy running and screaming down the road, he slips in the rain, falling over. Pennywoe appears over him, showing the full set of teeth towering over him.
Porgy starts laughing hysterically.
​
Pennywoe looks confused and angry.
Pennywoe: You think this is funny?
​
Porgy: (still laughing) Your.. your teeth are so ugly, what do you put on clown makeup each morning top make them look worse?
He cackles, his teeth going forward to eat. Then he stops, looking directly at the camera, breaking the forth wall.
​
Pennywoe: Save money on Nightflix or end up like our friend Porgy here. You'll sink too. Its your only choice.

production
Unfortunately I was only able so far to complete one part of my project. This was due to the actors needing me every day for their project and difficulty in getting them to cooperate. I felt that the filming I did get done ended up being rushed and lacking. I will hopefully be able to do the second part at some point soon. I also feel that the editing ended up being rushed for this reason.
​
On that day the first thing I did was the clown FX makeup. It took a few hours and we ended up getting to our location, Blandford, at about one thirty. From there we started filming. I realised after setting everything up that the two battery's in there had only an hour left each. Due to this, we hurried some of the filming and then had to switch to doing it on my phone. I used the work from my production schedule I had with me to know exactly what shots to do.
