Writer's Dump

For starters I need to start sleeping more so i don't miss class. :/ Sorry Jill. I don't want you to think that i'm not working on film scripts so i'm going to publish what i have so far.

Ok so i have a plethora of ideas that are as scattered and random as the thoughts in my head. I could even possibly mix and match different ideas with each other but for now i'll just write them down as separate film ideas.

1. Genre: Psychological Thriller
Plot: An under-appreciated student falls for a girl who just so happens to have a boyfriend. At the same time his sleep patterns are skewed to the point that his "dreams" mix with reality. At first they seem inspirational and help him with finding himself and his creativity, but soon he begins having a arachnoid being talking to him. The spirit threatens harm if he does not perform certain tasks. One of which, "coincidentally", is to murder the boyfriend of his crush.

Concept: I want the story to be open when dealing with taking sides. As in life everyone has their own opinion and there isn't one person who is necessarily right or wrong. I want the audience to wonder what they would've done and hopefully have differing opinions on the subject with at least a few people feeling that the student was "justified" in the end.

2. Genre: Cult Horror
Concept: Done in black and white with the inspiration of bella lugosi. Maybe a little flair of bruce campbell injected in as well. Straight up horror films seem campy to me so because they tend to exaggerate features in a way that pulls away from the suspension of disbelief. Which is why i want to do one that takes itself entirely too seriously and in a way pokes fun at itself. Plot to fit this concept is still undecided.

3. Genre: Horror
Concept: The general horror flick. spirits, gore. This one would be serious if i do it yet i don't want it to take itself too seriously. This would be black and white for i feel this adds to the use of imagination.
