We want our short film to be set in 2018, in a normal looking house with a small cast. This year we will include dialogue, as opposed to last year.
So far our idea is that two builders come across a women who initially is thought to be insane but on further observation, is being controlled by a device in her ear. When the men remove it, she drops dead. One of the builders, out of sheer curiosity tries the earpiece on and from that moment is controlled in the same way.
We have been inspired by the style of Black Mirror, especially the episode called Nosedive. In this episode, Lacie is controlled unknowingly by her social media account which lets others judge her with one look. In the end she has a breakdown due to the stress caused.
Although the story lines will be completely different, the ideas of control and not knowing about it will be similar.
