Idea Number 3.

I love musicals.
And silent films.
And music.

SO.

I want to make a silent film.
Because in silent films, the sound is always the highlight and, since I've been doing musical things all my life and film for two years, I think way better in sound than in visuals.

If that makes any sense...

I want to make a scratchy black and white really old and authentic looking silent film.
(I also thought about doing it in a foreign language - the subtitles and stuff that pop up on screen - but I don't know if that would be overkill.).

I know the perfect song I would want to use (The Mooche by Duke Ellington) but I think that the law will probably get in my way for that one... unless I find a way that doesn't involve copyright infringement.

I don't actually know what would HAPPEN in this silent film, but I think it will involve danger. If you hear the song it'll all make sense.



You + Comments = Amazing.




Thank you.

Idea Number 2.

It called "38."

The story?

My sister and I once spent over an hour one Sunday sitting at a bus stop.
We got so bored that we started doing the most ridiculous things to keep ourselves amused.
Then, after like an hour and fifteen minutes, a guy walking by stops to tell us that the bus doesn't go to this stop on Sundays.

So it'll be a film of two people sitting at the bus stop doing crazy things.
My problem is that I want it to be more than just a pointless comedy, so I have to develop it a little more.

But that's the basic plot idea so far.

Again: suggestions and comments are awesome.

Idea Number 1.

Yay posting!!!

But anyway...

I have three ideas for this year, but I'll writer them under three separate posts.


Idea numero uno:

A Mafia/crime parody.

Basically, my brother has always wanted to make a mafia movie, so this would be a collaboration of his ideas and mine.
So (if I do it - I'm still not sure about it) it'll be a parody (sort of Godfather-esque) of mafia movies/tv shows/stereotypes.

And I want it to be in black and white.

I have a script, but it's on another computer so I'll post it later.


So yeah... I know I didn't give much information, but if you have ANY suggestions on how to make it interesting and not exactly like every other mafia/crime movie ever made, that would be greatly appreciated.
