Re: any ideas for a movie script?

[MageSteff]

As they always say - write what you know. Is there some subject you understand that you have somethijng to say about?

I say this because any ideas you need to write with heart and soul and that can't come from just a random idea from others.

A film students can not come up with an idea, let him go out and find inspiration and windy in the case of WAAACKY!

It's black and white.

Hi! I am a high school student is writing a script for our video class project which is a 10 minute short movie. I need help thinking of a story. Any Ideas? I like movies like Mean Girls so tell me what you think I should write for my film. Thanks.

You could do a story about a grade-school dropout who could only get a job working for spammers making two Yuan for each forum they can get a post onto and another three Yuan for every link they're able to infect a site with. Center it on the constant battle the evil forum admins wage against them and the unfairness of it all.

I don't get why all this should be so hard... imho, it has been all layed out for you, you just have to combine the above tips into a comlete, captivating story. So you take drizjr's storyline about the dog getting hit by the SUV, but you replace the dog by a ducky, and the SUV by a dancing robot, possibly a mute one, and in the end, it all turns out to be one big ARG that in the end rewards you for playing with a nice colorful Mexican blanket. In the pocket I say....

I'd rent it!

Movies aren't movies without three key elements:

1) An interesting, engrossing script that allows the audience to imaginitively predict how the movie will play out mere minutes into the future, all the while surprising them and thusly engaging them throughly.

2) Captivating characters that are, at once, easily identifiable and strangely complex, complete with quirky traits and flashy one-liner-laden wits.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

3) Dancing robots.
