Brainstorming ideas for screenplay (plot)
Globalization and sustainability
Exploration- Human impact on the environment
- Two young kids go to the beach with family (exposition)
Beach filled with land waste and garbage
Sea filled with waste
Atmosphere is dark and dank suddenly, thunderstorms and clouds
- Kids suddenly fall into the ocean and drown (rising action)
They wake up in the middle of the ocean, somehow managing to breathe
Halo of gas that surrounds them
They find many such people around them, some unconscious and some trying to swim to the surface
Some gravitational force pulling all the people towards a large structure- a large cubic box of trash
- The cubic box of trash (climax)
Not inanimate
Like a large incinerator
As people are attracted towards a meter's-radius from the incinerator, they are swallowed in by the incinerator
Occasionally trickles of blood escape the incinerator
The kids end up inside the box of trash despite trying to escape, never to be heard from ever again.
- Meanwhile, with the parents (falling action and resolution)
Looking for their children above shore
Sudden divine voice from above the heavens
Ominously states that Mother Nature has grown angry at the way she has been treated and has decided to "do a little cleaning"
Family have good time in the beach and litter their belongings on the shore.
Parents jump into the sea after the message, but are immediately sucked into the sea
