 00:00 - 00:05The opening sequence begins with an establishing shot to show CLOWN is standing next to the street light. It's late and isolated. Next there is another establishing shot, behind the branches, to show that CLOWN is staring at one point and waiting for something or someone.  00:05 - 00:10The little GIRL is staring at the CLOWN from her window. Next, close up shot of her face.  00:10 - 00:26A flashback to when the CLOWN was a younger boy. His parents are shouting/arguing, so he can hear their screams in the background. He is sitting down in the corner of a room playing/torturing a clown doll. Then close up on his hand and toy to show how sadistic he is. Next, there is long shot of boy throwing the toy and starting to cry.  

 00:26 - 00:34Flashback to reality and the CLOWN is in the bathroom. On the washbasin is make-up, which is used by Clown when he is doing his make-up.  00:34 - 00:44There is another flashback to his childhood. He is in his bed trying to sleep, but he is unable to as he sees that the clown toy is staring directly at him from his shelf. Boy is terrified as he thinks that this clown doll is alive. The fear in his eyes is shown by extreme close up shots, following a close up shot of the clown’s eyes.  00:44 - 00:54Flashback to reality again and the CLOWN is slowly putting on his makeup. The variety of shots shows different stages of Clown doing his make-up.  

00:54 - 01:24The little GIRL leaves her home and goes to Clown. While she is walking to him, she drops her toy on the floor outside but she didn’t notice it as she is staring at Clown all the time, and she continues to walk forward. Then camera goes 360degree around and is showing that while GIRL is going to CLOWN, he suddenly disappear (as he stood next to the street light and he is no longer there) and then again appear. GIRL stops walking when she is standing in front of CLOWN.  01:24 – 01:32CLOWN starts to go closer to GIRL to give her clown doll, the same which he was torturing when he was young. CLOWN gives her toy and through facial expression of GIRL can be notice that she really like this toy.  01:32 - 01:49CLOWN’S grabs her hand. GIRL isn’t afraid as she got toy from him, so she think he is nice, so she doesn’t oppose. Then different shot shows how they slowly are going away.

 01:49 - 01:51At the end are variety of shots showing clown doll on the bushes, which suggests that something happen with the GIRL as she was holding this toy, when they were going away. Clown doll on the bushes emphasise that CLOWN used this toy to lure GIRL.
