Brainstorming ideas for screenplay (plot)

Globalization and sustainability

Exploration- Human impact on the environment

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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.

  1. 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
