I went to a club in my school and told that I want to make a movie about "self-searching", I had no idea wtf i was talking about though. They all introduced themselves to me and told me they'd gladly participate.
When they ask me to elaborate and give them some kind of pitch I told them that my ideas are scattered all around and I need to write it down to be clear.
It was really a spur of the moment thing, it's been so long hat I was trying to speak about making a film, and when I do, I got stuck. Now they all know my face and my name so I can't just back down.
I do have ideas ofc but it's more like pictures in my head, nothing that I could turn into a pitch.
I wish I could, but it's still a school project, can't do anything too graphic.

Watch some Mallick.
Give those guys some cameras or phones and ask them to shoot ""artistic"" shots of shit , tilted at 45'.
Tell them about your fears and connect them with minor shit. Like how you fear heights and spiders but everytime you go to sleep you visualize purple, but there's this purple spider that's giving you a teenage crisis.
This is a great way to get laid, too.

And the end needs to be undecided but upbeat yet sombre at the same time, and the protagonist needs to achieve something at the end.
Honestly, just watch Knight of Cups.

Still I don't want something pretentious and boring either. Any idea how to make something both artsy and fun?
Isaac Sanders
It needs to be a lil more complex than than, could be a good foundation though.
Jordan Walker
Make a movie about an eagle that wants to touch his beak to the moon fill it with aphex twin music. In the end he realizes he can't do it but he has dreams where he's flying above earth in the stratosphere and catching all sorts of crazy looking animals up there, and these dreams are enough to keep him grounded because he learns to act them out and manifest them in the real world making the dream real
Joseph Lee
Donyou watch the flns of wes anderson?
James Nelson
Reenact the Sneed and Feed scene but at night, with neon signs buzzing. Also they say they sell seeds but they actually sell fears. Homer leaves the place a different man after buying and burying his own fears.
Adrian Harris
Make Eat Pray Love but make it about a Mexican gay guy and you just certified yourself getting an oscar. When you do interviews for your movie talk with a lisp and act super gay and wear a scarf
Jonathan Bennett
well it's easy to complicate things if you have 2 people hating everything

Aiden Hall
How about you inject some realism and their relationship quickly becomes toxic and codependent. The girl cheats and the guy cuts his cock off and kills her. >my autobio screenplay desu
Oliver Cooper
can't do animation, not that much anyways
idk sounds too edgy
don't want it to be too heavy on dialogue
Brody Barnes
>be me >go to school >take film art class >make videos with ancient porn i found at some dying local video rental place >show porn penis and vj and cum to class >it's all zoomed in and cut with scary toothy animal mouths but still
You can do whatever you want, user. It's art.
Isaac Carter
Fair enough although you could make it really short like 15 minutes maybe and if you don't have to worry about copyright just take some videos of eagles from online and cut out different backdrops I'm sure someone at that department is pretty good with technical photoshop type shit if it's a college or you could do props and matte painting n shit but that would probably be really hard too

>don't want it to be too heavy on dialogue if you're actually a good visual storyteller you can relay all the things i summed up without even a word of dialogue
Isaac Robinson
>don't want it to be too heavy on dialogue you really want me to do your homework do you
>show girl fighting with her mom >show boy thrown out of his house by his dad >show boy living with friends who he gets in fights with >show girl getting ostracized by her friends because she's unpleasant to be with >show them sitting in cinema not noticing each other >show them getting getting out of the cinema >guy bumps into girl and gets angry >girl gets angry at boy >go back to both fucking up things >show boy making a mess at work an getting yelled at from his boss >goes to a party to get wasted >show girl crashing her car >goes to a party to get wasted >they bump into each other again >they go out of the party together >both smile
THE END
you could actually make a pretty good short movie out of this
don't start out too ambitious because you'll never make it

All right lads I'm afraid this thread might get archived soon and I think we can figure out something if we have a livelier conversation maybe.
