my original idea involved absolutely nothing with being inside a house or speaking on the telephone or having the female character killed and the credits were probably gonna be roled at the end cos we have a sorta iconic 'closing' shot...+++ The Girl survives goddammit :)
i'm pretty sure youre idea starts in the house and then you go to the forest right??? originally ours is set in an alleyway with a brief flashback to an office, and is in the tone of stylized noire with black/white, tophats, trenchcoats etcetcetc. My influences coming up with the idea are 'Rope' by alfy hitchcock 'Sin City' and 'Oldboy' by Park-Chan Wook. There is the similarity that a package is being exchanged but that is a cliche of the genre??? Our lady character starts off looking to the audience like she is a homeless person who has been unlucky enough to stumble upon some gangster types doing a deal. The gangsters move towards the girl to 'kill' her unknown to one of the gangsters the other gangster uses this as an oppurtunity to kill him and take both the money and the package....there are ten lines of dialogue roughly which are a voiceover of the flashback and the very closing shot. again the female survives lol...
...lol if there are any problems everyone remembers you had youre idea ageees ago before i thought of one so we'll change it no worries
: p
why did u even add bits to the idea rob there wernt any holes in the plot that needed filling in the first place grrrrr

Man you rock
But yeah, that's cleared everything up
And I've got a feeling every film in this project will involve a pacakage of some kind so I don't mind about that...
Good to see some lively debate coming out on the blogs!!
Could easily stimulate a debate on intellectual property rights... Your story ideas seem to coming from pretty different influences anyway so I see no real reason to worry. There will inevitably be some cross over with ideas when you are working in the same genre. (e.g.clandestine meetings, strange packages, concealment) Differences in sub-genre, form, tone and style mean you will end up with quite distinct final products.
