CMS.601 Final Project Site

Since we have seven people working on one rather complicated thing…

• Categories of stuff coming soon…
• There is a Forum. YAY!
• Recent posts
• The recap from our discussion in class on 3/21: First Movie main idea:
  • Our hero wakes up one night fully conscious in Dreamworld (working title only)
  • Said hero does not know where he is, but realizes as we see people flying, falling off of cliffs and disappearing before they hit the ground etc, that he is asleep and dreaming.
  • We realize through some kind of interaction/ episode (maybe with the villain?) that the hero has a bit more control over his environment than the average person here.
  • Villain: someone who has discovered that they also have a lot of control over the Dreamworld, but is in the process of discovering that they never leave, even as other people jump in and out.
  • Other people stuck in Dreamworld have formed a monastery-type community. They are more resigned to fate than the villain, and they also can't do all the stuff that the villain can do. The hero might end up here for training/advice, and the villain rejects the idea of staying there.
  • Villain eventually gains enough power to do something dangerous- WE NEED SOME MAJOR STAKES HERE, but they should be personal.

• The second and third movies: the villain is nice and sympathetic and teams up with the hero to fix some larger problem occurring in Dreamworld. The stakes here could be more global, maybe with some widespread panic in the real world, full of people afraid of falling asleep.
