ideas for the story

so when everyone was deciding upon ideas and we had come up with the little miss muffet idea , from there we decided on twisting it up a bit and dom along with lily and sarah came up with these ideas and then explained it to us from which we all expanded on it a bit more and these is what came up.

Story of idea
Spider could be an abusive boyfriend possibly?
To escape Little Miss Muffet’s fears, she could escape to her own fantasy world like Alice in Wonderland, Paranoia Agent and Paprika. Despite feeling content, a spider slowly crawls down from the umbrella she’s holding and meets her at eye level. She freaks out and quickly drops the umbrella. Her fear grows when she hears whistling of incy wincy spider.
Can cut back to reality and we see the guy spider walking up to her holding weapons while whistling the incy wincy spider song.
For her fantasy and real world, she could be dressed in different outfits to differentiate both worlds. Her clothes as well as the world can show her level of comfort and security.

Begins with banging on the door, muffet rocking back and forth. It stops and all is silent. He starts whistling and she puts her hands over her ears rocking more fiercely back and forth then you hear lock picking. She shakes her head and closes her eyes (zooms in). Zooms out and she’s in her fantasy world.

HER FANTASY WORLD WILL BE:
It has to be warm and safe. Where she can feel relaxed
She sees a swing tied to a tree (with cloth tied to it for Lily’s ncloth). Will there be a breeze?
As she runs closer she sees a spider on the swing. She then hears whistling of incy wincy spider.
Like a television, she begins to have a flash back that’s fuzzy of a man kneeling over a dead body. You can only see him from behind but the tattoo on the back of his neck is prominent.
As she remembers this her fantasy world shatters and you hear the door swing open.
We see the man with the tattoo on the back of his neck from behind as he walks in and closes the door on the audience.

SCRIPT

Maybe on a chair or a bed. She slowly rocks back and forth with a dazed expression as she hears aggressive banging on the door and the door knob shaking viciously.
Then suddenly all stops. She breaths heavily but quietly, slightly relieved. However, the silence is broken by the menacing whistling and quickly she cups her ears with her hands trying to block that dreadful song. She rocks back and forth more furiously as you can hear locking picking now.

Zooms into face as she starts whimpering slightly (possibly) Zooms into her eyes looking terrified as she suddenly shuts them hard. The sounds stop. All is quiet. She slowly opens her eyes and the camera zooms out. We see she’s wearing different clothing and the environment is completely different too. She gradually drops her hands away from her head and relaxes her shoulders in relief. She gives a heavy sigh of relief. She turns to see a swing tied to trees. Slowly she walks cautiously, then begins to lightly sprint and then comes to a sudden halt. There, on the swing is a spider sitting there.

The spider triggers off a flash back that’s hazy because she can barely remember it since she locked it away so tight. There, she stares at a man whistling and kneeling over a dead body. What’s most prominent is the spider tattoo on the back of his neck. Without time to react, the man turns his head towards her but the audience never sees his face.

Little Miss Muffet’s fantasy begins to break and disappear and we’re back in the bedroom. Camera is still focused on her face but we hear the door open.
Camera cuts to behind the man and we can see the spider tattoo on the back of his neck. He steps in and closes the door on the audience.
