"Wake Up Call"
Billy just sent me a comment on my fine arts post about creating a movie. I'm not sure if I talked about it or not but here is a detailed log line of the synopsis.
The main character (I'll just call him MC) starts the movie out by normally living his life. He is one of those average Joe's that is kinda the type that hangs out with the wrong crowd but does go to church (one of those "I'm a good person just because I go to church" person). This Sunday is like no other. The rapture happens and the majority of the church instantly vanishes. MC looks around and sees a couple of dazed and confused people that are in the same boat as him.
Now the action starts - MC tries to continue his life as best as he can. But since most of the world's population is missing, crime rates are up and life is hard. The government begins trying to take action to prevent utter chaos. This doesn't work.
Enter the AntiChrist - He begins doing his thing like Revelations predicts. The mark of the beast is introduced. Gov't says that anyone who doesn't accept it shall be killed for going against the decree of the land.
Climax - MC doesn't accept the mark and is about to be executed, when...
Scene cut - MC suddenly wakes up in his bed in a normal life to a ringing phone. After a moment to think about what is going on, he answers the phone. After a slight pause a deep voice responds "Good morning, this is your wake up call". End.
I want a really powerful message in a high suspense thriller movie. The image I have is great but because I am a junior in high school with no money and no studio to shoot such a film is very difficult. But when I think about all this, the story of David comes to mind. David believed he couldn't fight the giant but he trusted God to help him with his great feat.
The best part of this project would be the ending because of the wake up call. It physically says "After seeing this whole movie and what life really COULD be like, what choice are you going to make. You need to wake up and realize that the Lord will soon return and you better make the choice to live than possibly die in the chaos of the world".
