Film Idea Extended - OCD

What is OCD?
OCD is an anxiety disorder that comes in a variety of forms. The four main 'obsessions' are Checking, Contamination, Hoarding and Intrusive thoughts.

From my previous blog post, my group and I have come up with the idea for an Over Compulsive Burglar.
The film could start with a young male, dressed in the stereotypical burglar outfit, with face covered, breaking into a house. He starts to steal items such as TV's, Games Consoles, Laptops and any left behind mobile phones. As he is about to leave, he sees a plate left by the sink...this is where is disorder kicks in and affects him. He cannot leave the house without washing it up and putting it away. Once he has done this, he goes to leave again, but sees a light turned on in the lounge. Yet again he has to turn this off, otherwise his anxiety will strike and his burglary mission will be over. From here he begins to reorganise the kitchen. The film will begin to end with him out of the mask and in a cooking apron and cooking a meal e.g lasagne. The homeowners then come home and it finally ends with both the burglar and family looking shocked.

I don't think that the film will need any dialogue because it seems to be more plot driven, and often with media course it is the dialogue that brings the quality down.
