We had more ideas for our film opening, the two new ideas are:
A dangerous drug experience that is juxtaposed with a happy quirky fun opening similar to that of Napoleon Dynamite with the food. We'd have birthday gifts/birthday wrapping/etc. and introduce the idea that the story takes place during the time of a birthday. Then we will elaborate showing the birthday of a young teenage girl. The birthday party would be juxtaposed with a soon to be frightening situation. The young girl decides to celebrate with her two best friends, so they do so by having a peaceful picnic by a lake in the woods. One of the girls brings a drug (not sure which one yet), and they decide to take it, unaware of the effects. It is unclear that this film is a drama/scary film until the horror begins. As one of the girl begins to "trip out" she experiences intense hallucinations that put the group of girls in danger. The crisis becomes more serious as they struggle to restrain her, it becomes dark, the girls panic and try to decide how to handle the situation, and they all begin to fall into the trip. It would be extremely intense and dramatic, including scenes where the girl has a conversation with "the devil", begs to be killed to end the pain, and tries to beat up her friends because she thinks she is in another place.
Another idea would be:
an abusive relationship told from an unconventional perspective: that of the abuser. Some abusers don't know that they are abusers. We would highlight this notion.
We did a lot of research on abusive relationships and drug experiences and we're still deciding which idea we like more.
