Anyone have any ideas for a short film?!


Question: I have to make a short film for school and I'm almost out of ideas. It needs to be made in the next month. It cannot be longer than five minutes. Remember, I'm a high schooler so I can't do anything crazy. This has to be a movie I can actually make! I'd like to shoot the movie in one day, or two days at the most. It needs to be simple, I really don't want to big story line, it's hard to fit that into a 5 minute movie anyway. Just a simple idea that I can run with and make a short video out of. This is for a state competition.

i made a 6 minute horror with no budget at all (apart from pizza) and it took me 4 days to shoot, obviously we had no re-takes and no rehearsals, and one day to edit.

i can help you out if you want, since i'm quite experienced at it now and am going to make my next film.

just drop an email if you want any tips or so.

in short films, you can't do huge stories. you can however, do a small documentary, for example poverty or a horror or just a short comedy.
i try not to do comedy, because even though my friends think i'm funny, theyre my friends, its hard to make other audiences laugh, they may not have the same sense of humour

dont cast your best mates coz they want to be in it, you may not have time for auditions but choose which friends u want to have in the film according to their acting abilities, if one person gets lazy, the whole things gnna get ruined.

look around you, what's interesting? you can make a simple story out of absolutely anything.
this one was about a diary, my next one is about a boy on a swing.

or think of a childhood memory.

how about a short film bout u wonderin what to make ur film on? haha dat would be something never done before. and u can show your same actor trying out different scenes and stories.

i'll get back if i get any ideas.

good luck,
xx

follow a stick down a stream and see where it ends up, talking about the watershed on the way.

How about a movie about a real dorky teenager that brings a metal detector to school and locates lost items, such as jewelry, keys, etc and becomes the school hero while really, really upsetting the janitor! Possible title "High School Treasure" or "Kentucky Joe Bucky and the Temple of School"

Suggestion: Go Napolean D or put a Indiana Jones spin on it..

Have a minor get turned down when trying to by beer. The minor gets someone else to buy the beer then he goes under a bridge, drinks then passes out. The minor wakes up in the middle of the night cold and then walks home and goes inside. The End

Hi D,
What a tough assignment.
Always stick with what you know and are familiar with, so my suggestion is; 5 Minutes In A School Day.
Choose some part of the school day which you enjoy the most and let the camera roll.
Good Luck my friend,
Cathorio.

Kid sells candy bars out of his locker, and has been doing it since jr high. New kid shows up and not only has the same candy for less but has even better brands (warehouse membership). It turns into a hallway turf battle of sorts but in the end, the two team up and become top fundraisers for the school.
