Finding a story... Or three

Ideas

News: "Ripple" - a short film based on the news story "A 16-year-old boy dies after taking a suspected overdose at a Halloween rave in Conwy county". The short film would be set after the death of the teenage boy, and the affect that death has on those left behind. The parents would go through a range of powerful emotions, out of their control while friends become depressed, some may attempt to take their own life too. This short film is to show the never ending butterfly effect one person can have on the world around them.

Personal:  "Pleasurewood Chills" - a short film about a young couple who go on a date to a theme park around Halloween. The park is practically empty so the couple don't really have to queue for anything. The couple go on the different rides, completely unaware that the "people" they are going on the rides with are zombies. While on the rides incidents befall the zombies, killing them and protecting they couple as they continue their day. For example going on the dodgems, ramming a car with a zombie in it who hits his head hard enough to die, but the couple look/go away last minute so don't realise.

Inspired: "Magician" - A short film inspired by the Doctor Strange and Lord of the Rings films. A woman meditates every day, follows the same routine everyday and every night. One day her partner breaks that routine by disappearing without word. The protagonist has to go on a journey to find her partner, not realising that it's myths and legends behind the kidnapping. Her connection to the world around her is what aids her in finding her partner, with multiple mythical helpers on the way.
