Idea, maybe

Had a bit of an idea about what we could do for our project, maybe. I've written it basically according to Annie's 3 Act Stucture and so on.


ACT 1
  • Who is he?: Our protagonist (male, middle aged? depends on the actor we can get) works in an office (I got this from Hugo's idea about the guy who stole office supplies) and is extremely bored and depressed.
  • What does he want? : He does the same thing day in and day out, watching grey office days go by, and simply wants a more exciting life.
  • Inciting Incident : One day, after leaving the office, he recieves a letter in the post telling him to go to a certain place at a certain time. Happy for the bit of excitement, he goes, but upon arriving, finds the body of a dead girl. (How she dies can be decided later).
ACT 2
  • Knowing he is innocent, he runs from the body out of fear and worry that he'll be fasely accused if discovered at the scene. He drops a glove (or something else that can be decided later).
  • He goes home, but it's not long before he starts to become paranoid that the police will think that it's him. He starts to see things, and feels like he's being watched. He looks in the mirror and thinks he sees someone behind him, etc. He begins to see the girls body in the house (but we won't explain whether or not it's really there).
  • Some time later, the police knock on his door. He runs, afraid.
Basically, in the end it would be that he actually set it all up himself to create his own excitement. After leaving the office one day we'll have a suttle shot of him coming out of the post office (I.e. he sent the letter himself), that sort of thing. And he dropped his whatever on purpose, so they'd follow him. Not sure what would happen at the end yet, but he'll have to be caught in order for us to explain what was really going on. We can have a chat about it tomorrow if you guys like it :)
