INITIAL IDEAS

EDITING IDEAS

* break traditions, don’t follow typical approaches

• colour grading: warm tones (X cool & dark vibes) • lighting: bright, spotlights? • music: more intimate and sweet but turns out to be not romantic • captions: e.g. (music playing) (indistinct conversations)

INITIAL PLOT IDEAS

• clipping fingernails > blood dripping • camera angles: shoot subjects from a lower angle, appear taller and larger, creating a sense of glory and superiority, power!! • “i love you” > words start falling down > transition into raindrops/blood dripping - inspiration from “If anything happens I love you”

1. Scene from nightmare comes to life • start out with a person sleeping > transition to dream/nightmare scene > person never wakes up OR keeps waking up to it happening in real life * presenting it as a fake event but turns up being real (fantasy vs reality) • developed idea 1: married couple (they already have a relationship), could be the husband is having a nightmare where his wife is trying to poison him and he wakes up and the wife is dead next to him, so it reveals that the guy killed the wife and the wife is getting revenge (haunting him?) insomnia; intimate scene but turns out to be a more gruesome scene

2. No reflection in the mirror • self-doubt/struggle with the sense of identity • questioning one’s existence

3. Hypnotise someone, and can’t snap them out of it • brainwashing (?) inspired by the hypnosis scene from “Get Out”, the idea of the Sunken Place

4. Every time you wake up, you’re a different person • movie reference: SPLIT - a man with 24 different personalities who kidnaps and imprison three teenage girls in an isolated underground facility

5. Meeting imaginary friend • only you see the “friend” but at one point everyone starts seeing the same “friend” • inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality

* more action, fewer dialogues - show the audience what the characters are afraid of * NO jump scares * play with point of views (to express different sides of the story)
