Creative Ideas

 At first we had many ideas of from a normal guy with a hidden power to a thrilling murder in a group of friends. We wanted to put across the idea of mystery with thriller and suspense in our short film. The idea was to keep the audience guessing who? or what? including all this we wanted to add a moral of the story which we can teach throughout the clip.

We found many examples from short clips such as 'the black hole' '2:20' 

Both of these short film were very inspirational and helped us get ideas flowing.  

Our first initial idea was based on a normal male 17 year old, discovers that one day he wakes up and everyone is procrastinating. The whole world has come to a standstill. He finds that he is the only that can see a tag type sticker on each person which the tag was the cause of procrastination which he soon found out after removing it from his mother. The whole short film was about this boy removing tags from people but finding out that he becomes immobilised when he removed a lot of tags.

This idea was a good start but as it gradually started to build up we found many floors in it. We looked at how realistic it would be to film and it was less likely for us to achieve because we would have to freeze everything and everyone on the street. The idea was later scrapped and we were back to the beginning.

To get more inspiration we searched for more short films. We came with the idea of having something that comes to life which is abnormal but could be realistic. Our final thoughts was based on the film jumanji. We thought of recreated something very similar where a game came to reality. This is where the idea of monopoly came into place.
