My short film ideas

SHORT FILM IDEA’S

1. Journey/Human Fear
A man in a dark suit sits in a train carriage staring out of the window. A close up on his face, half in the shadows as the green scenery dashes by. Stacks of newspapers sit next to him - the headline stands out - ‘EUROPEAN SERIAL KILLER STRIKES AGAIN!’
Montage of a man killing different woman - He holds a knife behind his back, you cannot see his face, just a smiling woman. Pouring poison in a drink then handing it to a glamorous looking woman, lots of different ways. You only see a tattoo on the killers hand every time.
The man on the train throws the paper to the floor, laughing the entire time. Low angle shot looking up at him. A train assistant, a woman, comes and asks if he needs anything. The man smile evilly before introducing himself and shaking her hand. She falls for his charms and smiles back.
You only see the tattoo on his hand before it fades to black.

2. Me/Identity
A girl wakes up, she’s home alone. She gets dressed, puts her make-up on while looking in the mirror. She smiles - she’s happy, has a positive mood. Narration goes along with montage of shots of her getting ready to go out. She gives her dog a pat on the head while leaving the house. She walks the short journey to the train station and stops at the platform. The narration explains why she’s so happy. A boy - he’s listening to music - completely oblivious to her. The narration continues to explain that the girl has been in love with the boy for over a year - she’s just too shy to do anything about it.
She sits on a seat, two rows behind the boy, telling the audience what little information she knows about him. She wishes she knew more, but as said before, she’s too shy. The train pulls up at her platform, she jumps up and takes a long last sad look at the boy before walking past him and off the train.
The boy looks after her, a sad but hopeful smile on his face. His own narration starts like the girls - “So there’s this girl that I’m in love with.”
It turns out they both really love each other but are too afraid to admit their feelings.

3. Me/Identity - Reflection on society.
A woman steps onto a train platform dressed in a power suit - she looks sharp, business attire. Reading glasses - she’s smart - don’t mess with her. She passes a homeless man who is sleeping. She see’s him everyday and smiles softly in his direction before waiting for her train.
Two youths come up to the homeless and start going through his things, shouting at him, pushing him. They begin taunting him. The woman, seeing this marches up to them and tells them to stop, they begin to gang up on her.
She pulls out pepper spray and aims it at them before telling them to get lost. Not wanting to have their eyes burned, they scamper off. The homeless man stands up and thanks her. He tells her if people stood up for the weak like she did, the world would be a better place.
