Clown Train

I really like it when I first read the screenplay. It's interesting, engaging and there are dramatic struggles in it. All the descriptions of the actions of the clown makes me terrify. From the screenplay, I can imagine the boy's feeling and the tenses in the atmosphere. My phobia of clown got

The film, however, was a little bit diverse from the original screenplay. The director has removed most of the unimportant part and gather interesting scenes together, which made quite a satisfying short film. Effects of the train's light going off looks real and it was freaky when the clown moved closer to the protagonist.
There was no music used in the short film, but its sound effects came out on the right spot at the right time - creating spookiness. There is, nonetheless, an imperfection. In the beginning of the film, the clown did not perform a dangerous, wicked expression in his eyes well. Rather, he looks indifferent.

The ending of the short film was my favorite part. It ends with clown's evil laugh and an unnerving line “Nevermind, i'll tell you that on Friday". Not only it gives audiences goose bumps, the unresolved ending also provides the story opportunities to expand.
