Help!

[davey]

Right this is film related so i put it in here.
In film studies at college weve gotta do our own screen play. What we have to do is think up a story line for the film and then write a script extract for a particular scene. So i need your help to think something up im open to any sort of genre and suggestions.
Right go!

Plot of the movie: A guy's doing hallucinagenic drugs in a haunted house
Were you trying to push that idea in another thread?

For an idea:

A man comes home from a night of drinking with friends, and throws his coat on a chair. Over the course of the next hours strange things are happening; lights are coming on/off, things are being moved, etc. Anyway, he gets over this, passing it off as being drunk, takes a shower, and goes to bed. When...a silhouette passes from one side of a door frame to the other. END.

This all starts when he throws his coat on a chair and turns on the tv with the remote, then puts it back on the coffee table; over the course of all the things changing, the tv is always on. After exploring all the oddities, he takes a shower and goes to turn off the tv, however, the remote is not on the table. He looks around, and his coat catches his eye. He pulls it up, and the remote is right under it. He turns the tv off, and goes to bed. From a shot of the lead's face facing the camera with his eyes closed we see the silhouette; this way we know this is defenitely not apart of some drunken stupor.

That's pretty good for just thinking it up. I'm kind of scared now...

Halloween theme:

|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|12-------12--------12----13-----|
|---10-10----10-10-----10----10-| 2x then slide down two frets
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|

The end's a little different when switching between frets.

you lot are no help!
This is simple all i need someone to do is just make up a film story line.

How about POW from Vietnam who comes home after 35 years in captivity, and goes to the Wall?

HARDxCORE!!!!!!

Thedeadwalk has a good idea. But how's about theres subtle differences that the man doesnt see and the viewer might....like the channel changes, or his keys are moved. Or maybe you can see the mans sillouhette before the ending, like, for example, the man has a giant glass sliding door, and you can see a shadow from a streetlight outside.

Im pretty freaked now too.

But lets also say theres a bar scene where the character has a minor dispute with some creepy bastard, and the creep is seen getting into his car in the background at the bar....and if the viewer pays attention, the car is seen following the man on the ride home.

But it all has to be oh-so-subtle.

[thedeadwalk!]

Well, the whole point of the changing things is that the viewer is led to believe it's just in his head, and they're seeing what he is. But all that changes with the silhouette, and you know someone else was actually moving them. Including more obvious hints to an intruder would make the end less thrilling.

Having the channels change would be a good idea, but it would be hard to convey that without having channel numbers on the screen.

We're giving you suggestions for a story that all you would have to do is think of dialogue and direction.

If you're going to be like this, do your own work.

Ok sorry. I liked your idea and im gonna use that as the scene because i think i can work with that and fit and dialogue etc, but what i need you (or anyone) to do is think of a storyline that the scene can fit into.

I hate when people make these kinds of threads. Why are you taking a screenplay class if your not going to try to think up your own ideas? Use your own creativity. It will make the experience all the more fulfilling.

Spooky sillouhettes moving across the screen are waaaaaay too overdone

Channel changing wouldnt be that hard. Just have it switch from Barney to an axe murderer or somethign like that. I think people would notice it not being the same program. I hope so at least.. :rolleyes:
