• The jumps take him all around the globe. He doesn’t control the destination.

• At first it’s not clear whether he’s the victim or the villain of the story.

• The shadow was his shadow all along.

• Different worlds depicted: Ordinary life of a man, a woman in a psychiatric hospital, the main character inside a mobile game then inside a matrix-like world, the stage of a theatre, the main character as a cat enjoying the sun.

• Alternate ending: The character drinks tea along with his shadow. The shadow controls him as a puppet with black fish lines.

5) “Headless man” (suggested by @RRRR)

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

• The photograph of a headless man.

• In each episode, the lead character finds an object, sort of a ceramics shard piece.

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

• A working class man betrays his friends in a secret organization by supplying a list of bankers and corporate directors to mobs but in the process becomes involved with one of these bankers. The two must work together to prevent a massacre.

7) “Patient Zero” (original by @L1N3ARX)

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

• An experiment to create a cognitive bridge between a comatose patient and voluntary host goes horribly wrong: The consciousness of the comatose patient takes control of the new body erasing all trace of the host.

• Chain reaction where the consciousness of patient zero starts linking into other conscious hosts at unexpected intervals leaving a bunch of dead bodies behind.

• Patient zero is in an almost permanent state of global amnesia taking over host bodies around the world unable to piece together what is happening.

• An emergency global task force is put into motion not to just catch patient zero but to kill on sight.

8) “Peter: Patient Zero” by @B3Guy (originals “Stowaway” and “Patient Zero” by @atticusd and @L1N3ARX respectively)

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

• Peter begins to have flashbacks of previous “lives” as other “Peters”, and of strange and painful experiments in a sterile hospital-esque environment.

• The core of the movie are flashbacks that begin simply with the lives of other “Peters”, but progress to include the same events happening to each, to their being hunted by various top-secret world task forces, ending in their death and move to another random “Peter”.

• Peter Smith (let’s call him that) starts researching the demise of his previous “Peters” and the powerful forces searching for him in an effort to figure out what is happening.

• Peter senses something different in the information he finds regarding his most recent existence; the change to his current self was somehow unique.

• The story also follows the life of another Peter who appears to be an average Joe but is in fact being monitored by the evil agencies.

• A sympathetic scientist approaches Peter Smith and tells him he’s being the subject of an experiment with comatose patients (see Patient Zero by @L1N3ARX). He seems to help Peter to make an untraceable jump to a new host but in fact he’s betraying him.

• The Sympathetic Scientist was sympathetic after all: The apparent betrayal was in fact a maneuver to set original Peter free. Original Peter escapes, average Joe Peter kicks the bucket.

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

10) “We” by @lolo (based on original idea by @Reckless)

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

• A global event – Option 2: Gea’s awakening (the nature, and ancient creatures punish the humans for trying to destroy her) (by @lolo)

11) “If on a winter’s night a traveller” (original by @Elenion)

”“Specific Plot Elements”“

• Example of progression: First act (OPENING) A Man (the PROTAGONIST) suffers from Solitude (the ANTAGONIST) and the conflict with it goes from acceptation and inevitability to pain to refuse (BREAK).
  Then the guy decides to defeat the solitude meeting a girl. He goes to a bar and drinks a coffee with a girl. Here we change fragment: a girl (the protagonist) is in a bar for the first date with a boy).
  How we slide from a fragment to another? With editing tricks: detail of the guy's cup of coffee, then we start the new fragment from the detail of the girl's (new protagonist) cup of coffee and a new part of the story begins. The antagonist of the girl is Love, we will show the conflicts. And the story goes on through the different fragments until the pursuing (or failing) of the building of a family is completed.
