Synopsis ideas

These plot ideas will help us determine what kind of short film we will be doing.

Genre
Thriller

Character profiles 
Protagonist
Name: Derek Waters (Male)
Age: 19
Occupation: Student studying criminology

Antagonist
Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Stalker

Plot ideas

1.  Linear with a Plot Twist: Derek Waters is his own stalker. He has a case of Bipolar and split personality disorder. He doesn't know what the other personality is doing with his body. One's good and one's evil. After being harassed and feeling scared he finds out at the end that he is the stalker.

2. Non linear with a closed structure: Derek Waters finds himself in a dark room tied to a chair. The audience is then introduced to another character (the antagonist) who is secretly the stalker but is disguised as an interrogator. As Derek is being asked about what happened last night, he starts to remember. These memories tell the audience that he was being stalked and was in potential danger. 

3. Shot as a P.O.V in the eyes of the stalker (the audience is encouraged to feel like they're part of the film.)
