Synopsis / treatment• Short film idea • Man finds a remote control on his doorstep with a note attached, he discovers

that the remote controls people, and he can make them do what he wants. At first he is lighthearted about it and makes people do harmless things. But as he really understands the power that he wields, he decides to us the power for his own gain, he makes the people he is controlling commit crimes as he knows that he cannot be linked to the act as he is in no way related to the person that committed the crime and was nowhere near the scene. As his crimes become more and more severe he realises that he has far too power for one man. Leaving the control on someone else's doorstep with the same note that he read the cycle continues.

The film will use the sci-fi and thriller genres; to create a mysterious effect to the viewer due to the remote. It follows sci-fi conventions by the use of futuristic technology. Also it follows thriller conventions because it is fast paced and has a ticking clock.
