Over the summer I have contemplated several film ideas, from party related movies to murder, however I hit a writers block when developing my ideas. So to counteract this I took note of current events in the news and documentaries that could be adapted and changed to create a short film. They are as follows.
London riots. (troubled youth)
Libya crisis (conflict)
Women that kill (murder and psychological problems)
Stalkers.
Global warming.
Global economy.
My first Idea was about a down on his luck banker contemplating suicide, however I felt this may be too dark and too emotional and seeing as though It's still too hot to touch.
I deceided to go with the stalker idea. But challenging the convention of a male stalker who harasses the woman, I changed it to a female stalker. I did this because I felt a woman could portray more anger and emotional issues and can actually be much scarier than the male counterparts.
Chanllenging Conventions.
Having a female stalker than a male.
Inciting fear without any weapons.
Powerless male.
The change of roles from the impenetrable untouchable male to weak degraded male.
The sympathy to the villain, in this case the stalker.
