Work In Progress Name: SPECTRUM

Genre type(s): Science Fiction, Fantasy, Psychological

General Character Concepts: The SPECTRUM are 8 individual emotions that are the keyholders the the memories in the mind. They consist of Joy, Trust, Disgust, Anger, Surprise, Sadness, Fear, and Anticipation. An over-seer and "gatekeeper" of sorts is Conscience, who knows all the things that have been, but does not directly have access to the memories.

Plot Concept/Summary: Joy "awakens" from his natural state, and notices 7 other spots that are empty. Upon exploration, he comes across Conscience, who is at work on repairing areas of this giant contraption Joy seemed to be apart of. Conscience greets Joy, and tells him to help him look back at some memories to find out what let them (the spectrum) out. Joy can only see/show memories of Joy, something all of his siblings share with their own quality. The memories reveal very little, and Conscience allows Joy to go explore the mind, suggesting he find the Spectrum that are more balanced, and to dodge the darker more unstable ones for now. Upon his trek, he runs across Trust, who joins him, as well as Surprise, who acts as comic relief. They share memories with each other, but it's still not clear enough what caused the mind to fall apart. Upon further exploration, they come across Fear and Sadness, who are running from Anger, Disgust, and Anticipation. Fear and Sadness share the key memories that caused the downfall, and they all realize that the mind is infact in a vegitative state, and that all the spectrum have to be in place when the mind is rebooted, but Anger, Anticipation, and Disgust wish to leave the other Spectrum out...

Location Concept: the idea is that the world exists inside a being's mind, but that it takes form based on how the person percepts things. In this case, something very sci-fi inspired, like the inside of spaceship, but without being too generic.

Themes: Overmedication and the chemical inbalace it can potentially worsen in the human mind. Every emotion, and memory, every feeling has a purpose, and none should be forgotten, hidden, or disregarded.

I'm about to write the script, not sure about film length, but I want this to be my big brickfilm project for the fall.
