Final Idea
The final idea that we had all agreed on as a group was: A psychological thriller that contained a killer who once lived within the hundreds of flats that a rundown estate in a urban area within London contained. The boy is no longer living within the estate and has now grown older, he lives a more established life now however his past still has a major impact on his life and actions today. No one is aware of the past of this boy, no one truly cares.
At the beginning of the sequence, the area that the boy used to live in as a child will be shown and the bad state of it therefore giving the audience an insight on the boys past. There will then be shots showing the type of life that this boy is currently living and this is when he will be introduced. He will be shown walking alone into his house and going to the bathroom to retrieve items that would help the audience understand the mentally abnormal state that this character is in.
Initial Ideas
Idea 1:
17 year old Dylan is constantly bullied in school and on
social networking sites when he goes home; everyone in school (sometimes even
the teachers join in with the joke) joins in but there is one main group within
the school that contribute and that started off this unfair treatment towards
Dylan. (The idea of there being one group who are the main culprits of bullying
is from the film Mean Girls) It is
not long before the “joke” is taken too far and Dylan dies due to an asthma
attack when the group think it would be funny to hide his asthma pump. Dylan
comes back to haunt and grimly kill them because of what they put him through
when he was alive. The inspiration for this idea was from a documentary "Cyber Bully". It will be set in Barking
Abbey School.
Idea 2:
A new student attending Barking Abbey School has a
mysterious, unfinished past. Her new friends slowly start to recognise the
abnormal behaviour of this girl and start to question it. By the time her
friends have done their research on this girl and figure out an explanation for
her weird behaviour it is too late. This inspiration of this came from a
television show that I watched when I was younger however I cannot remember the
name of it. This inspiration was gathered from what I understood and remember
of it from when I was younger.
Idea 3:
A boy is causally walking home from school one day, he walks through the park alone and stumbled across a crisp £5 note on the ground. As anyone would, he picked up the note and found it had been wrapped around a button. The boy is confused but continues his journey after taking the note and throwing the button back to the ground. When the boy gets home he is astonished as he discovers that the same button that had been wrapped inside the note was laying on his desk in his room. It had followed him. Again she attempts to get rid of the button however it continues to follow her. It will continue the theme of supernatural activities. This idea had been inspired from the movie "Drag me to hell".
Idea 4:
A male murderer is hidden amongst many students in Barking Abbey School. No one is aware of the doings of this boy, he is just a "normal" student. He is constantly finding new places to hide his weapon around the school so that he is not discovered. On his weapon blood will be shown to suggest to the audience that this is not the first time that he has used it. He washes the weapon in the boys bathroom when no one is around and then the sequence would end with a zoom in to the boys face smiling menacingly.
