Ideas
Horror/ thriller genre with neo-noir, using strong connotations of murder like actions.
Three lines of action.
1. Boyfriend looking at 'yesterdays CCTV footage'
2. Boyfriend at time of incident
3. Killer POV
Treatment
Charlie Edwards is a teenage boy who is undermined by everyone he knows, even his own family. One night after falling a sleep he has a dream in which he goes upto someone's room and kills them as he sleeps. Charlie wakes up, startled and tries to sleep again. The next morning Alison Taylor comes to her friend Rachel Parks' house as the two of them had planned to go for shopping that day. But instead of her friend Alison finds her corpse in the process. A few days later Charlie again has a dream of stabbing someone in the kitchen. The next morning all the channels give reports of a strange murder that took place the previous night. Charlie realises that he is the same man who he dreamed of killing last night which worries him as he remembers that he saw that man 2 days ago. After a few more of such incidents Charlie realises that this is a power that he has developed and starts using it for his personal gain. Getting rid of anyone who causes him any despair or anguish.
Meanwhile, Alison takes up the responsibility of solving her friends' murder as the police seem to be unable to find out what has happened. After reports of bizarre events such as a man dropping dead in the middle of a meeting and a couple of college students found dead in their car reach Alison she decides to take a better look at these cases with the help of her father who is a police detective. Through him she finds out that all the victims did not have any wounds on them which could show that they were stabbed or shot or even show that they had any poison introduced to their system. Alison realises that this is the same way her friend Rachel was found. She then starts tracking such events which lead her to Charlie. However, Charlie is unaware of the fact that someone is onto him. As Alison gets closer to catching the culprit she realises that this is someone who is extremely powerful.
Titles/ Fonts
As our opening is about dreaming a good title would be Dreamstate
These are four fonts I like that I found on Dafont.com.
I like this font because it has horror connotations due to the fact that it looks like blood smears. You can still read the text reasonably well which allows you to keep a fast cutting rate if that is what we would be using.
This font looks like each individual letter has been taken out of a newspaper and stuck next to each other.
Sound
Eerie sounds like door slamming and creaking, footsteps, running, screams, manic laughter and cheesy lines of cliched dialogue to be used.

This is another horror type style of writing, this time it looks like the first just more gory, if we made a bloody horror thriller i think that this font could work well.
This was another font I liked due to the fact it had a pulse going through the text which has connotations for life and death.
Reccie
Wilderness woods, we will be going to wilderness wood to plan out our film opening by going there and taking stills so we can further plan. The use of a house to show normality.
Props/ Costume
I would like the 'goodies' and the 'baddies' to be clearly defined through the use of costume and NV language and subtle props like a phone to be used.Sound
Eerie sounds like door slamming and creaking, footsteps, running, screams, manic laughter and cheesy lines of cliched dialogue to be used.
out of the four, I prefer the first and last fonts. I think the first is more like murders writing on a mirror or wall in blood, and the last seems more crime related.
