Lesson 2: Introduction to TV Production 29/9/2015 (Script ideas)

Idea Generation - (Group 2)

1. 4 Students and their temptations/addictions to drugs and how their lives have been affected

2. 3 Students deal with their own scars/baggage. (bullying, grief, illness) , 3 episodes for 3 students (before and after the event) Moral - Wee all deal with our own scars to become better people)

3. 4 Students have joined a society and the intro is horrible, something awful happens. They have to join together and tell their own stories.

4. The idea that the smallest event can change/effect a whole day month or year. The same day shown over again with different triggers which send the character off on a different journey.
 
5. The idea of a major incident (e.g. car accident, gas pipe explosion) affecting three/four different people, with content given though second trigger (Flashbacks)

6. 3 students have a stalker who messages them saying 'I can see you' or I know what you eat. It turns out it is a kid they bullied. They all tell stories in the last episode.

Where is it going?

4 is big event that kicks it off (fire starter) 6 is main story.

Why is the kid bullied in the first place? (Big event)

Why did he turn into a stalker? (own back)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who to sympathies with?

Like lots 'o' hugging bear in Toy Story 3. The idea being that you start liking the character and then end up being confused at if you like them or not and end syphaising with a whole different character for a contradicting reason.
