Project idea and major inspiration

Plot Idea

The plot begins with a scientist humming while listening to music on his headphones while creating a pair of glasses. There is dystopian science propaganda on the walls and on the floor. He finishes building the glasses, puts the last piece on, and puts the glasses on. He has a vision seeing 5 days into the future, where it starts out normally with his daily routine, then ends with a date 5 days from now and his death. The rest of the movie is him trying to prevent his death. How did he die? Was he murdered? By who? 

Major Inspiration

The major inspiration for this film's opening is coherence. Coherence is about a group of people at a dinner party that gets split into alternative universes by a comet. They use Enigma Code, something we are also using in our film opening, by purposely leaving plot holes and mysteries so we can circle back to them at the end of the film. In coherence, it starts off by finding a box outside with photos of the characters with numbers written in red marker on the back of them. Then their phones all crack. We end up finding out the numbers were because they used a Yahtzee game to give everyone a randomized number, and the red marker was because there was another identical house that did it in a blue marker. At the end of the film, they find another box, this time with blue numbers, confirming that there was another house. However, the numbers themselves were different, confirming the people in the house weren't from that universe.
