Demi- My ideas for a film

 My first idea for a film:

The film begins in a psychiatrists office- clearly instituted at a mental unit. The girl across from the psychiatrist – Agnes – Is looking down at the table, and tapping her fingers on the table. She is silent. The psychiatrist takes a sip of her coffee, pushes in a tape, ready to record Agnes’ responses.

‘So Agnes, at our last session you said you were looking for someone. Now, who exactly is this person? You.. wouldn’t tell me the last time.’ Dr Sullivan begins. Agnes fails to respond. Dr Sullivan urges her to reply.

‘Agnes? I looked in your diary. . The pictures, the drawings..’

She lowers her voice.

‘You said you wanted them dead. Why, Aggy?’

Agnes abruptly stops tapping her fingers on the desk and looks up slowly, and holds the Doctors gaze as she takes another sip of her drink. She sounds breathless and angry as she speaks.

‘He took her’

Pictures and short clips of two girls as children-one being Agnes- show up on the screen. She is clearly having flashbacks. You can hear faint child-like laughing in the background. The pictures and videos are shown on a sepia setting. The main short clip comes on. Two children are playing in the garden. They are laughing and playing tag. Eerie music overwrites the diegetic sounds of the children playing. A shifty man is seen over the fence. He grabs one of the girls. The other girl looks startled, she runs inside. The music stops and we hear the girl yell ‘Mummy!’

It cuts back to the girl at the psychiatrist’s office.  She is looking into space. She begins to tap her fingers slowly on the desk once again.  Dr Sullivan notices her anxious behaviour, appears to note it down, and continues to ask Agnes questions.

‘Who took who Agnes?’

‘My sister.’

Her tapping on the table gets more aggressive, and faster. Dr Sullivan begins to cough slightly, and appears to be in discomfort. She begins to appear weak and as if she is about to fall asleep. The shot reverses back to Agnes, who now has a thin smile on her face. She is watching the psychiatrist intently. Dr S begins to cough more, and slumps down in her chair, resting her head on the desk. Shots keep referencing back to the coffee, to suggest it has been spiked/poisoned. Dr S’s body then becomes limp. Agnes now has a huge grin on her face. We see her slowly retrieve the keys to the door from her pocket, then she goes to the door and unlocks it. She has escaped.

In the middle of the film, The scenes are constantly cutting from the people at the mental units’ search for Agnes, and the movements of Agnes herself.

Firstly we see Agnes opening a door.  When she enters, it looks like a normal home. We can guess it is her own house. This confuses the audience as she has just escaped from the ward – Why would she go back to her parents? But as she walks through the home to her bedroom, we can see that both her parents are empty shells of people. Her father is passed out on the couch. He is surrounded by empty bottles of liquor – he clearly has a drinking problem, which we can guess arose upon the disappearance of his daughter. At some point Agnes sneakily walks up the stairs. The bathroom door is ajar. We see part of her mothers body, she is sat on the bathroom floor with her head in her hands. We also hear sobs, and an empty pill box is shown. (We guess its depression tablets) Her mother has also not noticed her in the home.  Throughout the beginning flashbacks are shown of the two sisters, to show she is always thinking of her sibling as other actions are carried out. While police and doctors are searching for Agnes, She is planning out how she is going to find her sisters kidnapper.

At the end she finds her sisters kidnapper and she kills him violently. Police and Detectives are surrounding the house of the kidnapper. We are constantly on edge wondering if she will manage to escape, if she will kill anybody else etc.

Second Idea For a Film:

A lonely young girl is struggling to cope with the social stresses of  High School/College. She is very unpopular but ridiculously clever. She is bullied constantly, and she is led to depression.  She is fairly upset over what is happening and she kills herself. However, her spirit still roams the earth.

She uses her intelligence to her advantage, and plans to kill everyone who has ever wronged her.  The bullies themselves, the psychiatrist that never really cared, the lawyer who defended her bullies when a particular incident went to court. She is a strong believer in karma, so she kills them in a way she feels they deserve. EG: She haunts the bullies and makes them hear voices until they themselves are driven to suicide, she kills the lawyer by piercing her throat- from all the lies that come from it- etc. Each series of murders happens throughout the film.

At the end, there is a twist. It turns out that she was infact a demon. She wasn’t bullied, she made it as if she was. She killed herself on purpose as she knew her demonic spirit would lead on.
