My Idea


Title: Captured

In the beginning of the short film; the first thing you get introduced to is the main character who is in his mid 20's he is walking across a corridor; in a very slow pace. Then there would be many different camera shots in his face, showing his facial expressions.
Then we will see the main title jump up with very intense music. then we will see an empty cage with a bit of blood on the floor; the camera will do a 360 around showing the viewers the cage, then the camera will go back to the main character entering a dark eerie room with a young girl sitting on the floor looking petrified curled around her self, whispering words such as 'Stop' this young girl is yelling in a very deep scary voice.
The Other man called Dixon;  who we met in the begging  bends down to her level and confronts her, then we go back to the cage the back the young girl who is called; 'Sarah' the scene then goes blurry and a bit timid, this is her flash back ' we go back to the cage and suddenly we notice the little girl 'Sarah', and 4 other characters who we yet never got introduced to; we then see a laptop where is placed in the centre of the cage,  and around it are the 5 character who are trapped inside the cage.


The five characters; are 3 men and 2 girls, this young girl called 'Sarah' Who we got introduced in the begging whilst in the flash back is segregated from the group, she is staring at the laptop as if she is waiting for something to happen, then suddenly in the laptop we see a distinctive figure with a plane white mask speaking to the 5 characters.

The things he says are ' you 5 have been chosen to be tested in this experiment that we are conducting' then one of the male characters says 'What is the experiment on' then the camera goes back to the video on the laptop and it says  2 character's who are called 'Mike & Tom' the man in the mask says 'Mike & Tom' there is a uniform for you in the corner of the cage the keys are under the black box' then we see mike run and open the box, he pulls out 2 uniforms with extra props; the the masked man says put these two clothes on and he explains the main task on what they have to do. which is Mike and tom have to put the uniform on and tell the other three characters what to do each day examples are 'push ups, running in laps around the cage, preparing food ext..
600full-the-experiment-screenshot.jpgThen we notice Tom asking in a very cram voice; what are you going to get out of this, then 'Sarah begging to cry, saying to the masked man 'why please do not do this'. then the video turns of. The other character 'Hannah says to the group what if we do not do it they can't force us, then Sarah shouts out They are evil in her sad voice, mike then insists lets just do it because if we won't we might never get out or even last staying here for more that 3 days. Tom shouts we do not even have food to survive for 1 day.

Then the other charter Hannah goes to where the black box where the
costumes, then looks around the box and notices a sheet of paper folded up, she slowly begins to open it and it says a list of instructions on what Mike and tom are suppose to do. Suddenly Sarah shouts out i here noises i think there something on the other side, Hannah is like i can not here anything, then Tom shouts oh my gosh look over there he points, it then fades to black then a distinctive creature covered in blood tries to get its way in, every huddles away from where the creature is, Mike gets one of the props which is a large metal thing, he holds closely; trying to protect the group; in the back ground every one is shouting and screaming, and crying. The creature then starts to scream in an abnormal voice. then moves away from the cage in a slowly pace.
Tom shouts out how did we even get here and what was that. Hannah then  remembers the masked man saying we are here for UN experiment; then Sarah jumps out saying What if we are here to get eaten she then mopes around crying Tom says to the group he said there where 5 of us where is the 5th person. everyone starts looking around, then everyone gets paranoid. Then they here a noise in the middle of the cage they all walk towards it, then we see what the characters are sing then suddenly Sarah turns around and see the creature inside the cage; the camera does a extreme close up on her eyes. it ends.

The reason why i chose to do a short movie is because i think this particular story that i am doing can't all be fitted in a trailer, because the idea and concept is too complicated. I made the characters are all different but yet similar on there own ways. And also the setting is a cage.

  1. This is very ambitious and you have clearly put a great deal of thought into it. The main issues is feasibility. Are you going to be able to assemble and organize all the elements involved in this film on your own?

    To do this film well you will need:
    excellent controlled lighting, well prepared and well cast actors, a controlled location and excellent mise en scene including the cage itself, access to realistic make-up.

    It would be my strong recommendation that you work with someone on this and that you consider if you can tell the story with fewer characters and simplify it a little.
