Back to Square One

So, after pitching our idea and coming to the conclusion it's just too complex, we're now thinking of ways to develop our new idea.

I had some inspiration recently about the type of puzzle we could use; I was on the computer and I clicked on a link on YouTube which for some reason wouldn't work and this came up:



After giving up trying to get YouTube to work and going on Facebook, from reading many irritated statuses, realised everyone's YouTube had gone down; which sparked an idea.
The autistic boy could be in the same situation, but instead of ignoring it and going on Facebook, like everyone else, he starts decoding the numbers and types them into the cmd box on his computer. We could use shots of perhaps 5 other people who, when their YouTube stops working, just get up and leave or go onto other sites; where we'd show the boy becoming interested. I imagine this shot being profile, in a dark room with his face only lit by the computer screen.

Then it goes black and the opening credits come up. We could do close up shots of the numbers and of his eyes flickering to show him working through the code and in conjunction with this, a quick non-diegetic soundtrack, with a fast beat, could come in. Over the top of these images, the opening credits can still come up. At the end of the sequence, the F.B.I data base would come up and he's got through the passwords. As soon as the image of the data base comes up, the non-diegetic music would stop, the screen would then fade to black and in cmd style font, the title of the film would be typed out.

Here is an example of a cmd command box:

 
I have yet to pitch this idea to the rest of the group, but I hope they'll like it and have ideas to add to and improve it.
