Lightbulbs Everywhere

suc·cess (səkˈses/) noun; the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

Ok the title of this post made me imagine a lightbulb actually going over someone's head whenever they got an idea, could you imagine? Anyways, back on track. So I think we came up with a really good idea today which can develop into something awesome.  Our theoretical film is potentially going to begin with a girl getting a mugshot. Cliche right? Wrong. This mugshot will actually be fake and set in a teenage girl's bedroom as part of a school project.  After each flash of the camera, the scene will cut to an intruder breaking into the house.  Through quick shots switching back and forth between the girl's room and the intruder, the scene will entail a feel of suspense and thrill.  The juxtaposition between the two settings will further solidify this riveting mood.  As far as screenplay, we did not get any further, but we did expand upon the story.

mystery aesthetic we are going for 

An overall synopsis is that the intruder is (spoiler alert) a girl as opposed to the commonly assumed, dominant male. She enters inconspicuously, places an object onto the table, and exits without a sound.  This is odd considering intruders customarily take things as opposed to leaving things. The mysterious object will be something usual, such as a key, but a symbol will be attached creating curiosity.  The next day at school, *insert cool female teen name*, will approach *insert cool female teen's friend's name* and ask if she left the object at her house.  After realizing that the object belongs to nobody who had entered the house, the girls are intrigued.  They also discover that their other friends received an alternate object with the same symbol on it.  Word gets around and it becomes known that a majority of the other students in their school received the same thing throughout the week and the students come together in an attempt to find an answer to all the questions in the air.

At the end it is discovered that all the clues led to a park, in which a girl's body is found. This girl went to their school, but was always extremely quiet and unnoticed.  It is revealed that the now deceased girl sought to be heard.  Her pain was too deep for her to change her mind about her suicide, however, she did not want to leave unnoticed.  As far as the people she gave the objects to, they were chosen based on who had talked to her.  Even a simple "What's the homework?" impacted her as she lacked any substantial relationships. 

Not totally lame, right?
