This idea is a fictional, linear, narrative about a post apocalyptic world. The atmosphere is so rancid that people have to be completely covered to go outside. The only populations left are in cities that have left over bomb shelters from the 1950s. People live in these shelters and have interconnecting tunnels under the cities. They do occasionally have to venture outside though, and it is very dangerous for them to do so. This would be the story of a woman that found a baby and is trying to find it's parents. It would show all the things she would have to do to keep the baby safe.

This idea came to me because of another movie, The Wizard of Oz, which has had a lot of re-interpretations and takes. This idea is instead of showing Dorothy's adventures in Oz, showing someone from Oz getting sent to Kansas where Dorothy is from. It would have to be a character that would stand out in Kansas, like the witch or the scarecrow. This would be a fictional, linear, narrative.

It seems like some people can't do anything with out putting it on social media. I went with that concept with a twist for this linear, narrative, fiction. The idea is this: What if you literally couldn't do anything with out it showing up on a social media feed? Would it change the way you live your life? I think it would be an interesting concept to explore. It would follow three people, a good/moral person, a bad person, and a person that leads a fairly normal life but tries to change what he does to make himself look better in other people's eyes.

visual media idea day 3 of 6
This idea is a linear, fictional, narrative that takes place in what I like to call the future past. The future past the idea of what the future would be like in the 1950s. This means, cities built in the skies, flying cars, automatic everything all that great stuff that never came to be. My idea that I have so far is that people are just hanging out in the future past- doing normal things, when some evil villain unleashes his army of giant robots to take over the world. The people have to band together and fight back using laser guns, and some hero figures out something brilliant and saves the day. It would be very campy and cheesy. The type of movie that is bad on purpose.

Visual media idea-day 2 of 6
When I was younger, I had a reoccurring dream that involved a creepy basement door. This is the inspiration for idea #2. It would be an experimental non-linear narrative. The location would be a scarey looking basement. I would want it to look dark and grainy, perhaps sepia or black and white. It would start with just a shot of the basement, completely dark or dimly lit with a doorway in the background. The door would be closed and lit in some way so it looks far away but that's the only thing you can see. The composition of the film would be very circular, showing different parts of the basement, even different doorways. Then a little kid dressed in white would show up out of no where, but you would only see the back of her. The camera would follow her from place to place that it already showed. She would intermittently disappear and then reappear off to the side but just a quick glimpse. It would end with the door from the first scene closing.

Day 1 of 6-visual media ideas
My first idea is to have a somewhat pre-scripted reality show, but it would really be a mix of a talk/advice show mixed with a reality show. I think of Drunk History without the re-enactments. My idea came to me because I was at my friend Nikki’s house the other night and one of our mutual friends was asking us for advice (of the sexual nature). We may have had some drinks…. ok we were somewhat intoxicated, and Nikki started giving advice. Her advice involved a lot of hand movements and sound effects, this may not sound funny, but Nikki is tall and skinny and somewhat spastic when she’s drunk (think of Elaine from Seinfeld dancing). So my idea is for real, normal people to ask a drunk Nikki advice to their relationship problems and for her to give her crazy advice. I highly doubt she would actually agree to do this so some sort of secret camera may have to be in place. The setting would be someplace she would feel comfortable, like her back yard or living room. It would have a casual feel, much like Drunk History. It would blur the lines between narrative and non-narrative, and it would mainly be linear, non-fiction.
