Original Ideas for the Thriller Sequence

Idea 1

Friend’s death makes others crazy

The first idea is about a teenager who finds out that his best friend had just committed suicide the day before and he was not expecting it, even though he and his friend got bullied on a daily basis. Since he is the only person in school that knows of his friend’s death he starts to build hatred inside of him. The main reason why he is the only person that knows about the death of his friend is because the principle decided it would be better not to affect everyone’s studies. Since nobody knows of his friend’s death everyone treats him the same way and carry on bullying him. Due to the absence of his friend they all mock him and his dead friend causing him to become mentally ill. Then he starts having suicidal thoughts too, but he felt in order of justice he believes he must kill one/all of the bullies. The ending would be that the protagonist father was the real cause of his friend’s death. Causing for his father to unsuccessfully attempt to kill his father sending him to a mental institute.

The opening scene would be of a protagonist siting down hesitating and shaking his head talking to himself, making himself seem crazy. Then he see’s one of the bullies and starts to follow him then he starts having flash backs of him crying from his friends death. Then the bully goes to the bathroom and there would be a close up the teenager smiling. 

Class Feedback
Positive - Was that the protagonist was of a kid, which made it seem more unexpected
              - What that the main focus would always be on him making him seem more innocent
              - Was that the protagonist was unsuccessful in killing his father
              - The opening sequence is very good and doesn't reveal to much

Negative - Need to have a better understanding of the plot 
                - Must develop more on how/why the father killed his friend

Idea 2 

Man forgets everyday
 
The second idea would be about a man who has amnesia and he can only remember certain parts of his day. However everything he does goes back to him being in a bed. It goes on like a cycle as every time he hears a voice/melody he goes back to him being in bed waking up. However each time he wakes up he cant remember anything so he leaves notes in his pockets to remind him of what he is locking for. So he goes outside to the town to find the voice/melody. Then as soon he finds the voice/melody he starts to remember everything of why and how he has amnesia, which breaks the cycle.

The opening scene would be him hearing the voice/melody then it fades to white and he walks up. Then he looks around the house looking at the pictures and then as he goes outside he puts his hands in his pocket and notices he has a note. Then as he opening it the audience see his emotions and it cuts

Idea 3 

Mother is back with her lies from the dead

The third idea is about a boy who waits outside a shop/school everyday in order for his dad to pick him up and one day he starts to talk to these women whom wears old vintage clothing. However this woman is actually the dad’s wife whom passed away 10 years ago. Therefore the son starts talking about this women and the dad just thinks nothing of it. Until one day the son finds a picture at home that looks like the women he is talking to and tells the dad that, that’s the women he was talking to. Then the boy tries to prove it by bringing the dad to the spot where she always is but she isn’t there. So the dad goes to ask his friend a sociologist about the problem and he tells him there is nothing to be bothered about as its quite common. Until the boy see’s the woman again and then he asks her if she is his mother mother then she starts to smile saying yes. The mother starts to tell all this lies of the father and said that he is the reason why I am like this. The boy starts to question to the dad of all his sins and he explains to his son about the truth of his mother as she died in the car crash. The father tells his son never to talk to the women again. Then they boy never see’s her again… Until he tells the dad that mommy wont let him fall asleep in his room.

The opening would be of a boy wearing school uniform walking to the shop/school to wait for his dad to pick him up. Then the boy notices women wearing odd and strange cloths. Then she asks the boy what he is waiting for. The he replied, “I am waiting for my daddy” and then she askes how about you mom? He says that she died a long time ago. Then the dad comes in his car and the audience notices the boy alone talking to nobody as the car drives up.

Idea 4

Who is the real liar?

The fourth idea would be of a teenage boy who finds a picture of himself in the newspaper as a missing child and they should contact the police straight away if he is found. Then it makes the boy question who the people living in his home are and that what they want from him. So he runs away and starts to find out the truth behind his family as they kidnapped him since he was young and raised him and that his family killed his real mother while they were kidnapping him.

The opening scene would be of the teenage boy reading the newspaper looking at his family from his dad to the mother. Then he asks his parents why don’t they have any photos of him when he was younger, then they reply because we couldn’t afford a camera back then. Then it jumps to him calling the police saying that he is the boy missing from the newspaper, then you hear the door banging loudly shouting open the door.
