Unit 4: Story-Telling

The magic words that will build up my story are:



The environment is a circus:


The prop is a filing cabinet:
And the character is a serial killer:



I'm excited with these 3 words. I really like the environment which is a circus. It's interesting because i have been to a circus and all the atmosphere inside is kind of moody and weird, this gives me a style for my story.
The environment i have is something that can be connected with the character i have which is the serial killer. 
-Maybe a serial killer clown? Who knows yet.

The prop which is a filing cabinet kinda troubles me a little bit but still i will find a certain place for it in my story.
-Perhaps an office inside the circus behind the stage where everything is filed. Every murder is filed inside this cabinet.

I know that these 3 words must play a big role in my story and my story must be done and constructed in relation with these 3 words. Right now I am thinking different stories and different versions of the stories i have thought. 

I will give emphasis to my prop first which troubles me. I will post soon some ideas and some stories. First i want to discuss my ideas with my partners which will be done the following days. 


*The picture for the serial killer is from the movie American Psycho (2000) where the actor Christian Bale plays the role of a serial killer.

  1. Maybe the filing cabinet is in a police station/detective's office, and maybe the 'case of the serial killing clown' hasn't been solved? And talking of serial killer clowns, check out John Wayne Gacy... *shudder*

  3. A clown serial killer... Im not sure what I'm more scared of, the fact its a clown or thats he's a killer :S quite a good idea, I could see it being quite a jumpy and somewhat funny idea to go with :)
