Film ideas and influences

Idea 1: Is based upon  a cameraman who upholds an extreme attraction and obsession to someone getting married. The film is shot where the audience believe the man who has the most prevalence(cameraman)  is the women's husband and is grieving . However, numerous flash backs show the women getting shot at the wedding ceremony(this is an outdoor church yard). The story reveals later on how the camera man is in fact not the women's 'husband' but was filming the whole wedding for them and how he imagined his life to being something that wasn't reality.
The film is heavily influenced by the American Psychological thriller 'one hour photo', which was written and directed by Mark Romanek. The film is based upon a male who is a photo technician where he develops 'one hour photos'. This enables him to see many families life evolve from marriage, to having children and experiencing special events. However over time he develops an extreme obsession with one family to the point where he imagines himself as 'uncle Sal' in their family. He creates numerous hyper realities which leads him to take extreme measures to ensure the families safety. He does this by finding out the lady's husband is having an affair where when the lady comes in to pick up her photos he gives her the ones he took of the husband cheating.

Idea2: Is based around a motorcyclist who suffers from multiple personality disorder and when he places his helmet on, he becomes  numerous pass psychopath's that he believes himself to be. The film would be shot to create the illusion that there are multiple offenders however hints are subdue to suggests that there is only one offender.

idea 3:  Is based upon a series of murders that an investigator is working on, however they get too wrapped up into the investigation to where they risk their own lives to solve the murders. however the women has blackouts which lead the viewer wondering to whether she is the offender and is reliving out the crimes to help her come over what she has done.
Heavily influenced by the American neo-noir mystery psychological thriller 'shutter island', directed by Martin Scorsese. Where the film is based upon two cops going to Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on shutter island(Boston) to investigate a criminal that had apparently escaped the island . However the plot takes a twist where one of the cops 'teddy' turns out to be a prisoner at Ashecliffe and his partner 'chuck' carries out this same mission every month, to try to get Teddy to come to terms with the fact he had murdered his wife through finding out she had killed both his two children and became insane through the emotional distraught. A second influence was the ITV British crime nior detective series  'Marcella' where she is investigating a series of murders due to the offender has remerged. However whilst this is occurring her marriage is under pressure due to the fact she finds out her husband has been cheating on her and the women he has been cheating with is murdered. However at the time of that murder she appears to be in all the murder scenes. Which leads to her having flashbacks and lost periods of time where she cannot seem to remember what she was doing. This leads the audience assuming she had killed her 'husbands' mistress.
