NEW IDEA!

So... ignore everything I've ever written up until now.

I have a new idea!


BASICALLY. There's this girl. And she has wrist/arm problems. It starts out with her going to the doctor, and the doctor saying there's nothing he can do for her. So then she's out walking around, looking dazed and confused and scared and in pain.

And the whole movie progresses with her trying everything she can to get rid of the pain... like drugs. There are some shots of her trying to fall asleep, being unable to, and taking painkillers. And then in school, trying to take notes, being in pain, and then running off to find relief.

It's hard to explain and kind of abstract... but I want there to be scenes were she has sudden attacks of pain, and it breaks into crazy effects and this audio track with people talking about their pain and describing it. It all sort of builds up... into a crazy pain attack.

I'm not sure if there are like clear lines and stuff or just all abstract-ish.


If you can comment on it, rip it apart, or give any sort of suggestions at all, you would be my hero.

Sketchy bus stop movies...

SO.

My piece, which I've mentioned like seven million times in basically no detail at all, is going to be about a bus stop.

It's basically two people, at a bus stop. For like an hour...
And the whole piece will be their interactions with each other, with people around them, etc...

At the end, a guy walks up to them and tells them that the bus doesn't go to that stop on Sundays.



So that's the piece.
I'm still trying to figure out what should go in the middle part of the piece: what happens, what they talk about, who they are.



But that's the basic idea.

Untitled Mafia Movie

"Untitled" (As of now)


This piece will be a sort of mafia-parody story about crime and the people involved with it. It will follow the story of both a Mafia boss and a lower-level generic mobster who is just starting out in the family and trying to break into it.

The main conflict will be between the boss and the aforementioned low level mobster, who, in doing what he thinks is a good decision, angers the boss and destroys his chances.

There will be one other intertwined character involved, who, in contrast to the first character, decides to do what will further him personally and becomes in good favor with the boss.

In addition, the boss will have to struggle with what's right and wrong in making his decisions about what happens to all of his people.
Basically, the whole piece is about decisions and what happens as a result of both good and bad decision making.

38.

I've already started describing this already, but this my official treatment for the first of my pieces: "38."


38.

38. follows the story of two people who leave their home early one morning to go shopping. As neither of them has a car, they decide to take the bus. It's a cold Sunday morning, and they get to the bus stop and start to wait.

They spend at least an hour at this bus stop, and this is the majority of the piece. It focuses mainly on the extent they will go to to entertain themselves and what comes out between two people when they're stuck alone with each other for hours at a time with nothing to talk about.

The piece ends when a man walking by informs the two that the bus doesn't run on that route on Sundays and they realize they just wasted hours for nothing.

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.
