Three Concepts

Idea 1- two identical twins are invited to a party, one of the siblings has a boyfriend, although a deluded friend decides to lock the sibling with a boyfriend in a closet, when the sister and her sisters boyfriend are downstairs drinking, the boyfriend quickly comes on to what he thinks is his girlfriend.

Idea 2- a young boy was desperate for friends, he found a five pound note in his pocket and wrote his number on the note with a instructions saying- ring me, occasionally people would ring and would talk to him about what they were spending the fiver on.

Idea 3- two boys decided to go trick or treating for Halloween, they dress up and take a pot for their sweets, as they knock on the doors around their house, their neighbours were willing give them both a handful of sweets. After the third door, a skeleton answers the door, and tells the boys that everyone is changing, losing their skin and guts, the boys just laughed and assumed he was playing a trick on them, the man told the boys to turn around and look at the neighbourhood, everyone was the same, the boys ran home, one of the boys mothers answered the door, but she had changed too, everyone had changed apart from the boys friend, who was in fact the only normal looking one, but he wasn’t real.  

Final Idea

I will be making a Claymation animation, in the style of Aardman Animations, as I am inspired by their work. As it is October 2015, I will be producing an animation with the genre of horror for the Halloween season. I will be making my animation out of Polymer clay.

I will not be holding my camera during the filming of this production, I will use a tripod and I will take the photographs as and when I need to, this will benefit me as I will be filming and producing this animation on my own therefore I will not be able to hold the camera and move the characters around, whilst remembering where I last had the camera placed.

My animation will be targeted at a young demographic, despite it being horror themed it will not be frightening to the point where it will terrify the children.

During the postproduction I will use a fade to black or fade to white film transition, however if I do not feel that it works well with my animation then I will try something else, perhaps a film dissolve.
