FIELD NOTE 001
A character begins before the costume.
A mask, makeup design, or prop can create the first impression. The performer creates the life inside it through posture, timing, voice, movement, and a clear reason for being in the room.
When Schizo asks a guest about the work behind a character, listen for the choice underneath the look. That choice is usually where the story begins.

Sell the illusion
Follow masks, practical effects, makeup, props, lighting, and the handmade decisions that make a creature believable.
Protect the experience
Look at training, communication, guest flow, atmosphere, and the work that lets a haunt feel intense while staying welcoming.
Notice more on your visit
Use the field notes as a way to watch a haunt differently: story, sound, set, actor, transition, and the moment that stays with you.
