Initial ideas for my short film

1. Short Film
Sci-Fi Horror
A high-school is slowly overtaken
by an aggressive, shape shifting
alien race.
Influences include “Invasion of The
Body Snatchers,” “The Thing
1982,” and “Under the Skin.”
Suspenseful, unsure of who has
been replaced.
Opening titles similar to
Alien.
Aliens eyes grow bright
white when humans
aren’t around.
Aliens appear on Earth
through lightning strikes
in a similar way to “The
War of The Worlds.”
One character has a large
scar on their hand.
The Aliens can
shoot electricity
out of their hands.
Superher
o
An old Superhero who’s
given up on a life of crime
fighting comes out of
retirement when his old
rival returns.
Influences include “The
Incredibles,” “The Dark Knight
Rises” and “Watchmen.”
Opening titles include a
montage of crimes taking place
since the hero disappeared.
The hero has super
speed and lightning
abilities.
The villain has control
over fire.
Both get cut and
bruised through-out
their battle.
Thriller
A bank heist goes
wrong, trapping the
team inside with
hostages. Outside a
police squad prepare
to take them out.
The motivations for
the criminals are
revealed in flash
backs each showing
the reason for why
they are doing what
they are doing.
High tension
through-out.
Characters are under
immense pressure
and this effects the
decisions they make.
Visual effects
include gun
shots, bullet
holes and
explosions.
Special effects
would be bloody
gun shot wounds
from the shoot
out.
Climaxes in a
shoot out
between both
sides.
Horror
A point of view
horror film about a
man recording his
encounters with
something that
relentlessly peruses
him where ever he
goes.
Influenced by
“Cloverfield,” “The
Blair Witch
Project,” and “It
Follows.”
The people in his
life are being
effected by the
creature
whenever he is
around them.
The creature
is covered in a
moving,
shadowy mist,
along with
glowing eyes.
It can also
phase through
walls.
The closer the
monster is to
the person its
chasing the
worse their
health
becomes.
Such as
bleeding from
the mouth.
