Two Minute Film Ideas
Idea 1- Twisted Reality
This Idea stems from a personal experience of mine.
The Nightmare was after I had surgery for the first time. I was recovering and would get pains in my neck whilst I was healing and I think it must have come out into my dreams.
A woman wakes up in a dark room and is strapped down onto a table unable to move with just the light on her surrounded by doctors and surgeons who will not respond to her whilst she is trying to talk to them and shout at them. No matter how much she would scream it would go unnoticed. There is quiet music on in the background.

The woman is soaked in a cold sweat and shaking and then her whole body freezes up as her eyes catch the surgeon leaning over her with a scalpel. The scalpel slowly slices her throat, a small cut to begin with then a deeper slice, she start to feel as though she is choking on her own blood. Unable to move, looking up at the surgeon. Helpless.
She has absolutely no control over her actions. The woman just lies there and allows the surgeon to continue whilst she feels everything, every little slice. A tear rolls down her face as she realises this is something that she can not stop or change and that it is going to change her life forever.
I would like to do this animation in grey tones with hints of colour throughout. In 2D and possibly in a stop motion environment.

Idea 2- The Power of Nerves
The power of nerves would be a comical demonstration showing someone preparing for a presentation with a "how to" guide on being nervous, why it effects the person and how to try to control it. It would include the effects of being nervous including sweating, increased heart rate, stuttering, blushing, butterflies in stomach/ nausea. The fight or flight response that is linked to nerves. The animation would be shown through the presenters eyes, how he/shy is feeling and can cope.
Idea 3- A Decision to Make
A man is walking through some woodlands when he comes up to a lake. Across the lake he notices a glass house. He walks around the lake until he reaches the house. He peers inside and notices it is dark and empty apart from there is a baby in the middle of the floor. He picks up the baby and starts to cry shouting "I don't understand! What is it that you want me to do?"
He is then transported to a different location with only the baby's blanket left in his hands and sees a group of homeless children walking around the dark streets. He walks up to a young girl and asks where he is. She replies "You are where they send all of the unwanted children, the factory".
He looks around and suddenly there are hundreds of children hiding in the dark shadows of the factory.
"Why were you all sent here?" He asks.
" Unwanted children have to go somewhere right? "
The little girl starts to walk away through the factory and the man follows.
They both turn around and jump shocked by a big bang.
"quick follow me!" The little girl whispers and leads him to little room and locks the door.
"You look very familiar, Have I seen you before?" The man asks.
The girl just smiles.
There is a bang on the door and the little girl gasps....
The man wakes up from his dream and turns towards his sleeping pregnant girlfriend, kisses her stomach and whispers " You will always be wanted with me around baby girl".

Idea 4- Solar Power
The world came to an apocalyptic halt when harvesting solar power through solar panels unleashed something terrifying into the world. A being had been waiting, stored in panels and electrical appliances until the perfect time to strike arose. It wanted its power and energy back since it could not return home. There were very few survivors of the devastation it had unleashed on the world but the survivors were fighters and would not give up. There were two male survivors at a petrol station attempting to keep out of sight. The solar being was waiting in a pay phone for someone gullible to walk past and pick it up. A man went to check the phone and picked it up then transformed into this hideous thing, his skin like the sun, some sort of distorted figure with strong stretchable limbs and very fast. Looked nothing like the man he was before. It caught one of the men and said it wanted everyone he has ever loved or it will kill all the remaining survivors and leave the earth bare. The man tried to escape and find the monsters weakness but it had none, it was too powerful. The monster ran for him and scooped him up then trough him onto a broken bridge barely hanging on by wires. The once brave man was brave no more, realising everything that he loves could just disappear. He tried to get back up off the bridge, clawing his way up but he could not. Realising his brother could already be dead back at the petrol station he waited. Waited for the monster to come back to finish him off.
Choosing a final idea
For my two minute film I have decided to choose " A decision to make" as I think it has more of a story to it that might grab the audiences attention and keep them guessing to the very end.
I was thinking of doing the animation in either paper or dark colours kind of like a silhouette feel as it is dream based. I am heading more towards stop motion for this animation as I feel it might be a bit tricky to do as 2D in photoshop and may look better when created using a multiplane. I have never made something like this before so will be completely new to me.
