Oh How the Tables Have Turned

Well today was an interesting day. "Interesting" isn't the right word, but not gonna lie, I was nervous. I am nervous because our teacher said that groups should be almost done filming.....WHAT THE HECK!!!! OUR GROUP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SOLID IDEA AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ALMOST DONE FILMING BY NOW??? This is rough. I am very worried for our group because we cannot come to an agreement with an idea. At least, that is what I thought. I was supposed to leave early during class to go to an appointment and my goal was to at least have an idea of what we are going to be doing before I had to leave my group for today. When we got together in class, I was not expecting Nico to have an outline done for the red string of fate idea. That shocked me. Here is what he came up with:

Video opens on kids driving in a car, laughing being reckless
Voiceover describing the red string of fate
Speedometer shows above 90
Girl in back, points looking worried and mouths "Watch out"
We've only heard laughs and the voice over so far, 
Screams are heard
Shot gets darker
Slow motion
Drivers head hits the wheel
Everybody lurches forward in unison with driver
They crashed btw
Piercing noise, like when grenades go off in movies/End of voiceover
Wakes up in hospital
We could go to Broward Health and borrow a flappy dress/gown thing with the slits on the back
Gets up
Sees clothes
Walks out of room
Now we see the protagonist in the empty lobby of the Broward Health building
He walks outside
Car is waiting there for him
Looks down, sees keys, unlocks car, gets in
Now we see his/her life progress
Notices red ring made of string around his finger, red nylon tied to his finger
Falls in love, she has ring as well
The strings begin to come closer, tie them together with nylon and every other scene make the nylon less and red string more to show their love is getting closer and closer. Or already start out with red nylon and slowly increase the thickness, moving onto cotton, then yarn as scenes progress.
Move in together
So and so forth
Btw I apologize for the formatting of my description of this scene but it's how I think and how I believe I can best communicate this idea.
Life carries on
One day he looks over to the corner, a lamp looks out of place
Looks like a normal lamp but the lighting is off, looks like CGI
He begins to eat dinner staring at the lamp, goes on for a few meals
Begins to simply stare at the lamp
Wife comes crying trying to take his attention off of the lamp, red string is noticeably thinner now
Becomes engrossed with the lamp
In the background, shallow focus but the wife can be seen screaming and leaving with a suitcase.
Lamp Glitches, begins to float.
Man runs out, goes up a building, kills himself.
Wakes up on the ground next to the car and strobing police lights,
goes back unconscious
Wakes up and wishes he could go back, regrets leaving his wife.
Life goes on,
Eventually he comes across a lamp in a store.
The lamp.
He runs in and grabs it, he's touching it all over ensuring it is real
He falls and cries happy or sad, not sure yet, I'll talk to my group
Looks down sees red nylon
The intro could does end here, but so far it's veeeerrry long or it could continue showing him chasing the string, ending at a pier


This what he has so far and honestly, it's not that bad. I do think it is kind of confusing with the whole lamp thing. Sadly, I left earlier than expected so I was not with my group to discuss how we would improve this idea. I will update you guys to see what we all have come up with, so stay tuned!
