Film Idea First 3 Minutes

First 3 Minutes

The main character, Thurnis, is scrolling down his Facebook news feed when the credits start to kick in. The credits are a part of Facebook though and are posts them self so when Thurnis scrolls past them, each cast members name and roll is shown. After the credits roll with music playing in the background, probably non copyrighted music but if I asked I bet I could use music by Jerry Paper or Homeshake or someone else I know if I explained the situation to them. After scrolling past the credits, Thurnis finally reaches a post with a link that says "predict your death". The link looks normal, nothing stands out about it in anyway, however, Thurnis doesn't care and clicks the link anyway because he's bored and has nothing better to do with his time. When the page loads up, he clicks a button that says predict while the rest of the page is just decorated with a black background and skulls plastered on said background. After Thurnis clicks predict, a bar appears in the centre of the screen that says predicting and slowly starts to fill. Thurnis waits in anticipation while the bar sits still at 99% for about 5 seconds, he is visibly sweating at this point; enough to fill two Olympic sized swimming pools. The bar finally reaches 100% and the words "3 Days" pop up on the screen. We then cut to Thurnis' face with a blank expression, he then blinks and a second after he blinks, we cut to Thurnis in a shopping mall buying lots of expensive products. Firstly we see him walking out of H&M with a large fur coat and lots of bags on either arm, then we cut to Thurnis in the Apple Store buying the latest iPhone and all necessary peripherals. After this, we cut to Thurnis indulging himself in trays and trays full of delicious Kentucky Fried Chicken; gravy covers his mouth whilst countless bones litter across the table and the floor. Thurnis looks satisfied yet still incomplete as his stomach hangs out of his untucked T-Shirt. Thurnis then attempts to stand up and leave the table, however, he cannot, he is so over encumbered by eating so much Kentucky Fried Chicken that he physically cannot stand yet, meaning he has to wait it out. About 3 hours go by and less and less people fill the mall. This is shown as a time-lapse as Thurnis sets there as the crowds move behind him.
