Idea 1 (4 in a house)
Plot:
4 people live in a house but are banned from talking to each other so they all go about the day acting as if the others don't exist. They have no contact to the outside world and can't get out of the house. Each night one of them has a dream where a person they don't know dies. One day one of the people in the house doesn't wake up, the others go about their day and ignore this. The next day another person doesn't wake up but the 2 awake ignore this and start their day. One of the remaining 2 accidentally opens the door to one of the peoples rooms. They see a dead body the same as how the person in their dream died. They check the other room and the same as happened. As they can't get out or contact anyone they decide to carry on living as if nothing happened. That night they both stay awake and thinking the other will try to kill them arms themselves. They both bump into each other and assume the others attacking them so kill each other.
Then the screen goes dark and after a slight pause a huge round of applause sounds and someone switches a light on and lots of men in suits appear to have been betting on which one would survive the longest.
Characters:
I would need 4 people, probably 2 boys 2 girls who act in a similar way and then the group of people in the end scene.
Inspiration:
The Truman Show gave me the idea for the people to have been watching and betting in the end.
Big Brother gave me the idea for them not being able to leave the house.
Nightmare on Elm street gave me the idea about the dreams.
Brief review of the idea:
I like the idea but feel that it needs to be developed as at the moment it would be very short. I think that with camera angles I could make it have a big brother style but more subtle so you only realise at the end when you realise they were on a game show which could work well but would be difficult so I need to put more planning into this idea.
Idea 2 (Peter Pointer)
Plot:
A man who can stop a weapon hurting someone by pointing at it is dragged into a gang war and he tries to escape. He starts to plan his escape early on with the help of one of the gang members he trusts. Just before the escape his friend gets shot by the other gang and he is forced to try to adapt the plan to escape by himself. He tries to dig through a wall. During the escape he discovers he also has the power to kill people by pointing at them. After he escapes he wakes up in the night o the police arresting him for the murder of several of the gang members.
Characters:
The main character who should be nerdy and small, the gang member who should be your stereotypical gang member. The gang leader who should be a big intimidating person. And all the other gang members and police who would have a small speaking role if any.
Inspiration:
Weirdly Sir Alan Sugar inspired me for this, when he says "you're fired" and points his finger I felt like this could be adapted into super power for a person.
Shawshank Redemption gave me the idea about the escape involving digging through a wall.
Brief review of the idea:
I like this idea but feel like it would need a big budget for it to be done well, for example I would need to find a place where we could hit down a wall ect and this isn't practical. It would also take a large cast which would be difficult to find and a lot of different locations. But I think the idea could be changed so that it is more practical easily.
