Project Idea & Major Inspo!

 Project Idea & Major Inspo!

-For my project, I want my main character to have some sort of mental illness. 

-I want it to start in a super plain therapist’s office with white walls, quiet air, everything perfectly still. 

-The main character would sit a little off to the edge of the couch, hands squeezed together under her thighs like she’s trying to hold herself steady. 

-She tells the therapist in a shaky voice that she’s been seeing things and sometimes feels like she’s going crazy. 

-The therapist stays calm and gentle, asking her what she means and taking notes that look way too official which only makes the girl more nervous. 

-When the therapist asks if she’s been taking her medication daily, the girl hesitates. She doesn’t answer right away instead she just stares at her hands while the therapist’s pen keeps moving. 

-Then the scene cuts sharply to her apartment. At er apartment, her pill organizer shows that today’s dose is missing, but all the others are untouched. 

-the apartment is quiet except for the fridge humming. 

-She pours herself a big bowl of cereal for dinner, and every tiny sound like the cereal hitting the bowl, the spoon clinking feels louder than normal. 

-The tv is on, but she’s barely paying attention. 

-Suddenly a random actor on the TV suddenly says “you weren’t supposed to hear that” like as if they were talking straight to her. 

-She freezes and even the milk dripping from her spoon seems to stretch out forever in a dramatic way.

- Static comes from the TV, and an actor from the movie or show she is watching is staring directly at the camera without moving their mouth. 

-A burst of static hits, and the doorbell rings at the exact same time. 

-She opens the door to nobody there but her cereal spoon is sitting on the doormat, covered in milk with a leaf stuck to it. 

-She rubs her eyes to confirm what she saw, but the spoon disappeared. 

-When she goes back inside, the spoon is suddenly back in her cereal bowl, but now it’s bent, and the leaf is still there. 

-The TV is full with loud static, and the movie’s title appears inside the noise. 

-When the title disappears, the girl grabs the remote to turn off the tv and calls her therapist frantically. 

-The scene should end when the girl puts her phone to her ear.

MY MAIN INSPO!!!

I'm inspired by the movie Don't Worry Darling because I want my project to capture that same mysterious feeling where nobody can tell what is real and what is fake. I love how the story makes both the characters and the audience feel confused about their reality, creating an intense and trippy experience and leaving viewers on the edge. My goal is to use that same mysterious vibe to keep everyone guessing since the the movie intro would end and viewers wouldn't be able to see more.
