Plot Ideas Brainstorm

1. We see news footage of the 1st anniversary of a missing girl. The camera then pans around the room and we see walls covered with newspaper sheets that are about the missing girl. The camera then zooms in on one particular article, in which we see a picture of a man and a headline suggesting he killed the girl, but there is no evidence. The camera then pans again and we come face-to-face with the same man who is on the picture.



However, we have decided to go with the second idea which is;

2. Use the rhyme ‘Mondays Child’ as a plot for a thriller. On each day, somebody gets killed related to the lyrics of the rhyme. Mondays victim (Mondays child is fair of face) is vain and therefore the reason for her death will be vanity. Tuesdays victim (Tuesdays child is full of grace) is shown to be a holy man praying in a church, we hear footsteps walking up the aisle then the camera slowly zooms out of the church. In doing so, the body of the victim is revealed. Wednesdays victim (Wednesdays child is full of woe) kills themselves by suicide, however all is not as it seems as we get a flashback of the victims childhood and see a teacher shouting at them. Thursdays victim (Thursdays child has far to go) is a homeless man. We see him begging for money but people are just walking past ignoring him. However, there is a sudden rush of people and when that clears, we see the victim lying on the floor, having been killed. Fridays victim (Fridays child is loving and giving) shows a prostitute standing on the street. A man, who’s identity we don’t know, leads her into a dark alley. We then see the silhouettes of the man holding up a knife and then killing the woman. Saturdays victim (Saturdays child works hard for a living) shows a businessman sitting at his desk in his office, and he is killed because of his greed. With each murder, the pictures of the victims are crossed off on a picture. Sunday will be extremely different however, as this is the day that begins to reveal the killer. The rhyme for this will also be changed to ‘And the child that is born on the Sabbath day is sinful, vile, dark and depraved.’
