over the last couple of years, social media has been more prevalent and has been focused on as one of the most important things in modern technology, this means you can connect with more people that you do and don't know, a lot easier than ever before. On of the main applications for social media is tinder which puts you in contact with people you have never met before if you two like each other. One of my ideas for a thriller is about a murderer on the app who matches with a girl, they begin to talk, and he kills her. At the beginning of the beginning of the film, they match and start talking to each other, it will be edited to make it look like it is happening for a few weeks/days, they meet up and he kills her, in the rest of the film it is an investigation into the murder, and when they find out who it is and look for him, they research his past and find out about his poor upbringing and gets into a nature vs nurture angle. The opening scene will use parallel editing of the two using the app until they match with each other. This is to make it look like fate that they matched also it can show the different reactions to them matching, his being more sinister and hers being more happy.
Mental Illness
A man commits a very serious crime, he then decides to plead insanity so that he could get a shorter sentence, after, he realises it was a bad idea and decides to try and escape from prison with two of the patients. In the opening two minutes to the film it is him pleading insanity in court and him being sent to a mental institution. I wanted to focus on the angle of mental illness as it is a challenge to do and if done well it can be very effective and very thrilling as it is a very real world thing as there is a lot of cases of mental illness in the world and that means it is more real world than a kind of alien invasion thriller. In the rest of the movie it will be the man escaping from prison, and on their escape, he realises that it wasn't the best idea to escape with them as their mental illness makes it harder to escape and creates conflict within the group.
Technology
A man finds a USB stick out in the public on the floor, he takes it home and plugs it into his computer, he finds a file on the computer named 'Booker beta' he opens it and it installs a artificially intelligent personal assistant onto his computer. This assistant and him begin to get along and after a while Booker asks the man to allow him access to all of the mans personal emails, texts, documents, then Booker begins acting strange and the man realises it wasn't such a good idea, over the course of the film the man begins to fear the assistant and realises that letting the assistant into all of the information was't such a good idea. he opening scene will show an average day in the life of a working man, it will be overlaid with the sound of news reports talking about the advancements in technology in thew past years, especially talking about the dangers of artificial intelligence.
Hypnotism
A man with a phobia of spiders goes to hypnotherapy in the hope of eradicating his fears, he awakes two days later not realising that he has missed a day of his life, he goes to get breakfast and hears a knock at the door, it is the police and they tell him he is under arrest for a murder, he has no recollection of it even though there is cctv footage of it taking place and there is witnesses of him entering the persons house, he works out that it must be to do with the hypnotist, and requests an investigation into it, the film then follows the police force looking into the hypnotist and realise that there is a pattern as many people where sent to jail for murder after seeing the hypnotist. The opening scene will be the mans daily routine, when he goes down stairs in the morning and sees a spider, he screams, puts it in a glass and throws it out of the window, then he goes out tells someone about it and they suggest that he should see a hypnotist.
