Final Idea
The group has drawn to a conclusion about the final idea. In a brief summary: the characters involved would mainly consist of two main actors, who is a young 8 year old boy, called Ethan, who is seen to be the protagonist of this film, and a replication of jigsaw (a psycho), who takes the role as the maniac villain. There will be supporting ‘actors/actresses’, who wouldn’t necessary take up a key role, as they will be acting as if they are in a trance set by the villain; however they will be associated to Ethan, as part of his family and friends.
The clip will begin with the viewers acknowledging that Ethan lives in a cottage style house, which seems to be located in a very secluded environment, which supposedly already foreshadows, an unsettling event to come. He seems to be alone in his house, very late at night, and so we clearly are able to see how young he is; this sets worrisome mood amongst the viewers, as we wonder how irresponsible the parent could have been. But reportedly, as the mother had gone out for their anniversary dinner, insisting they ask a babysitter to come in for Ethan. He refused, which at the moment, he regretted. It happens to be due to the fact he has been very psychologically shaken by the film he had been watching, which was certified horror movie; Saw 3. He decides to give into his curiosity and realised why the film was rated 18, and wished time had turned back. Suddenly, he falls into a surreal trance, where seconds later there is a cut to a cold, dim isolated place which seems to be unknown. As Ethan comes to his senses, he realises in each corner of the room, his parents and best friends are sitting upright staring at him in an expressionless manner. In mass confusion, he slowly approaches the corner his mother is in, before he is immediately halted short as if someone had grabbed him by the hand. He then looks down to see his arms chained to the wall, before noticing the rest of his loved ones are chained too. Panic stricken, he frantically looks around the room in distraught, before the almighty voice of ‘Jigsaw’ appears. There is a short conversation taking place regarding the situation between them. A drilling noise of some sort had started emanating into the room, getting louder and louder. He wonders whether he’s dreaming and keeps exclaiming to himself to wake up, before the chains on his wrist gradually tightens, where he shuts his eyes in discomfort and when he opens his eyes again.
He finds himself in the living room again. He looks at the blank TV screen. It seems to be really cold as the window is opening gushing in a waft of cold air. He then slightly relaxes when he find himself in the comfort of his home as he thinks its may have been a slight nightmare regarding the film he had just watched before he had a nap. He gets up from the sofa feeling quite wary and approaches the window to close it, to find the TV screen plug connection had been out. He stands there for a spilt second wondering how he even managed row watch the film and remembers that he didn’t even leave the window open. Slowly he looks to his wrist to find the chain imprints, trembling he falls to his feet, to find the reason behind his loss of balance where he sees a burnt in impression of a triangular mark. At this moment, Ethan immediately faints, unable to handle the current situation.
A boy, who seemingly has got himself into this terror, somehow is the only key to get himself and everyone involved, out of this, so he has to be become the hero. But the mystery behind this bizarre and dreadful turn of event still remains unknown, just the same way we may speculate how he even managed to get a copy of the movie, ‘Saw 3’. Until then, it is up to the 8 yr old Ethan to decide whether he will stand and fight till the end, or keep running and hiding forever.
NOTE: This idea was initially drawn by the whole group, however during script development, slight changes were made, considering the situations involving the actors, settings and such minor issues which arose. Ultimately, the storyline reflects and vaguely bases upon this idea stated above, however vast alterations were made.
