Clown outbreak research

Events across America and the UK have occurred involving people dressing up as clowns and scaring innocent residents. Police across over 20 states have been recorded clown incidents from members of the public.

 As this is a popular topic on the news, we had to change our horror opening idea which has been difficult due to the short time space but fortunately, it has improved our narrative.

It is said that this outbreak was influenced by the film 'It' which in being remade and is planned on being released in 2017 in which Bill Skarsgard will play Pennywise, the clown. Images have been released promoting the new re-make but people are starting to believe the the fictional killer clown has influenced people around the world.

An incident that has occurred recently in Manchester was a mother in the car with her two children aged four and three years old, when a clown showed threatening behaviour as it climbed onto her car bonnet at the traffic lights. There are many more incidents that have been worse in which a resident was approached by a clown holding a hammer.







The picture on the right is an image taken by a man who's car was approached by two clowns who emerged from the bushes.

The police have warned residents that the clown craze will increase as we come closer to halloween.

We as a group have all agreed that we should film in a house and not in public as dressing up and threatening residents is illegal. Even though scaring locals is not our intentions, we can't help people seeing our clown and seeing it as a threat. Therefore, filming in a house is safer to the actor playing the clown.
The sudden outbreak of clowns has also improved our narrative as we are able to use real clips of clowns causing threat in public which we have turned into our own news report.
