Synopsis
This post will most likely have no research. I just need to get my ideas out in a way that makes sense.
I have been thinking a lot about what I would want this movie to be if it were feature length.
Obviously, it starts with the found footage opening of the two lovers who are engaged, and the ending of the opening contains the attack on girl in the relationship, and her husband finding her. After this opening, the title shows, and we hear a heart monitor, which would morph into an alarm clock or ringing telephone. We see the stale, messy, unlivable conditions the Man is living in- apartment scattered with dirty clothes and dishes, take out boxes, furniture rearranged and partially wrecked. The Man has been driving himself insane. It has been two months since his fiancee has been attacked and he is barely holding a job. The Girl is in a coma, and will not wake up. Doctors watch over her as she recovers and ponder whether to try a new treatment or leave conditions as they are. After another dead end meeting with the head detective on his fiancees case, the Man decides to take matters into his own hands and go on his own revenge mission.
Side bar: This movie will not be like the Taken movies. Those are action films, and I want to make a mental thriller, sort of like The Killing of a Scared Deer and My Friend Dahmer, with similar shots and composition techniques. The movie will be written to not just visually attract, but mentally invest.
At some point in the movie, I want there to be a shift and see the Man start to drive himself insane trying to search for the killer, every lead he has seems to be a dead end. He starts to give up, until he finds a name and clues towards a man he believes committed the crime- (the name would likely be a coherent rearrangement of the Man's name- sort of like Tom Riddle and Lord Voldermort). I think the movie should end with the Man finding out he was actually the one who assaulted the wife in a drunken fit, and in that fit he destroyed all evidence. The guilt drive him insane trying to find the perpetrator, only to find he was the perpetrator.
That was a lot.
