Screenplay
Alright, before I'm on summer vacation I have ONE more assignment left to do for school....I have to write a godamn screenplay for a 5-10 minute long movie with dialogue. I don't mind doing it....but as with every other school assignment I do, I'm having a pretty hard time trying to start it out, so to COR I have turned. You guys have any ideas for a short movie? and I KNOW you do. Who knows, maybe your idea will go to a film festival one day, everyone will love it and we'll both become millionaires. 
If your short movie is anywhere near as big as your sig you'll do great 
sounds like fun! i have a goal to write a screenplay too, i even got the screenplay writing for dummies book it's the damn software i need though, the format is confusing.

write about bunch of ppl gathered pregaming before a party... that shouldnt be too hard..
Assuming you know the format and that it should be 5-10pgs long , you're set.
ideas, i got plenty. I had to write a few screenplays last semester.
think surreal. Dont play the normal card. I hate that. At the end of my class 3 plays were picked to be carried out into real plays and mine was the first one picked.
it was about about a guy in his apartment who had anger management/ OCD at the same time.
he'd wake up, throw his alarm clock against the wall, smashing it all over the place....then take a shower.
a maid walks in and lets him know she is there, cleans everything up.
he seemingly hurries to finish his shower and put on clothes, and the moment he gets out, she is gone.
he sits down, opens a drawer, and has a picture of her.
then lights change, salsa music comes on *she's latina* and they start dancing salsa....he is surprised he knows how to dance to begin with lol.
after a while, he realizes this is all in his head, sits back down, she leaves, lights go back to normal, and he smashes the picture frame against the wall and ends up sobbing.
it was just a surreal play on something tragic. It was mainly about his love for her, and she would never know about it......unrequited love *sigh* the horror! 
but it was nothing out there, nothing in your face like some one getting raped (like all the other kids in my class tried to portray). Apparently THAT was tragedy.
stay away from ghey horror movies and played out stuff. Go for something psychological/philosophical. Even something simple. If you can capture simplicity in a creative fashion, you're set.
maybe im not making sense.
basically, be crazy, be original.
i had a screen play with ONE word in it.......and the word was "goodbye"......i mainly played with camera shots and atmosphere.....you can capture a lot of meaning without words.
think creative, s0N!
dont write something boring and mundane like everyone in your class is bound to create.
if you want an answer with more substance, PM me...
some kid in video class also did a movie on OCD so I guess its not as original as you think 
but it true horror movies are done adnausium

oooh!! i have a goal to write a screenplay, even if it doesn't get looked at or whatever. i think it'd be fun. i have "screenplay writing for dummies" and other books about it, but it's the software that i need. the format is foreign territory for me and all the lingo is different too. it's like a whole diff planet of writing. it would be so much fun, but it's hard to find time and motivation to do something like that between school and work...i wish it was a homework assignment for me.

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over 50, and if its speed changed, it would explode! I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'
