looking at clowns that are fictional Binky the Clown from Garfield and friends

so Garfield was one of my all time favourite cartoon as a kid I still love him now so I remembered there was a clown on this show and the fact is he is really annoying! 

Mump and Smoot

Mump and Smoot are two horror base clowns they turn convention of clowns up side  down in a dark humorous macabre way.

  

Bozo the clown

I haven't actually heard of this clown but I have just found him looking online he was a clown on American TV during the 1960s he has the classic look of a clown.

Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil is one of the most famous circus's known to all, this one more involves acrobats doing the most amazing tricks not only is the whole circus theme I like its the amazing costumes and make up not the original clown its more contemporary.

   

looking at famous clowns Buffo!

so I am looking into clowns and found Buffo apparently he is the worlds strongest clown, he is an ex baseball player who now entertains kids, as not the everyday look of a clown I wonder if kids like him as he is huge! if I was going to a party as a kid with a clown that has all of his mules out would make me more scared. The concepts of clowns are changing but I find that when some one is to say the world clown we all think of a funny man dressed in bight colours and a white panted face and big red lips.

ahhhhhhh clown films

I know see why people find clowns so freaky why!? why!? do they have to put them in films? I have just been watching films that involves clowns so amusement is one of the films I have seen, it isn't the most interesting of film but there is a few scenes that have seen in the film that give the suspense look but also one that I am thinking of using is the clown in a rocking chair not in the spear bedroom but the kids bedroom here is an image of that clown in the film.

I really like the lighting in this image gives it a spooky feeling I find the lighting in this film really interesting.

   I like the way that they have made all of the film a grungy look.

locations :D

So this weekend I went home for a few days and as I was there I decided to take my camera out with me and find a few potential places that will add a childish feel but also some creepiness as well like I have found a road that has loads of woods and nobody hardly uses this road so I was thinking of doing one of my narrative images in this location I am hoping to get about 5 images out of the narrative and about 10-20 images of just clown faces in the studio just hope it all goes to plan more than anything I need to star designing the make up as I need to have a solid Idea of who will suit the make up and not wondering how shall I paint this person up.  
here is one of the locations I was thinking of.

i was thinking of having the clown just walking about with some balloons in one shot I was thinking even here or this place I was thinking if I went out when it was abit darker it would look really scary.

I also found a train station that I thought would be a good place to shoot as at night or twilight its very creepy looking even growing up getting a train from this station freaked me out when it got dark.

then I found a really big field whilst I was out and I was thinking what if I placed the clown in the field and have him facing the camera and have kids in the back ground coming towards the funny colourful clown.
