Elevator pitch: Idea one, idea two, and idea 3.

My first idea is about a guy or girl (have not decided yet) who has dreams of future events.  The only catch to these premonitions is that the person does not remember the dream once he or she wakes up, until it is about to happen.  To an extent, my movie asks "what happens when a person sees a tragic event about to occur, yet only has one hour or less, due to his or her memory, to prevent it from happening?"

My second idea is focuses more on the desire of an individual to make amends for a bad deed that he or she once did in the past.  I want to emphasize the idea of a person taking control of their own time to fix a horrible mistake or accident, instead of brooding over it.  It is somewhat like every movie where a guy or girl makes a mistake and thinks about fixing it, without the first hour and a half he or she spends feeling sorry for one's self.  To put it simply, "how quickly can one fix a major problem if they actually dedicate a solid hour of time to fix it?"

For my final idea, consider all the people in the world that take time out of their day to help someone else.  By helping someone else, you are lowering the amount of time you have in your day for your needs to, in a way, increase the amount of time for another person's duties.  I wanted to film a person spending an entire hour helping people non stop without rest and see, in the video, once it's cut, if the viewer can see a visual change in the person's body and mannerisms. Does one shorten one's lifespan when helping someone?
