Idea Synopses


First Idea
The plot of the story is that there is a father of a daughter who has been kidnapped and he is the vigilante who has to take matters into his own hands in order to save her.
Second Idea
In a post-apocalyptic world, a man (Hassan) is struggling for survival against the change in weather, highlighting his failure in life due to social inequality.
Third Idea  
There is an end of college party in which every one of the year attends, but everything turns sour when a girl is brutally murdered and everyone at the party is a vital witness.
From this we expanded on the first idea with the new synopsis being:
When a man’s wife goes missing, he is sure that she has been kidnapped and so in a desperate attempt of saving her he goes on a murderous rampage. He isn’t aware that her ‘kidnapper’ is actually her lover, and his colleague. She has left him due to crippling debts and his low status within the workplace. But will he discover her secret before it’s too late?
However, we changed this idea further to try and give it originality and surprise twists to the film. Therefore creating a new entirely different film:
“When Adam’s wife Jess goes missing, the police are reluctant to find her meaning that Adam has to take the law into his own hands. Nothing can stop Adam from finding his wife but will the bonds of true love break under the stress of the situation?”
{The surprise twist to the plot is that Jess has left Adam and has run off with another man whom she has created a fake kidnapping.}
