Help With Movie

[nothngupmysleeve]

Hey everyone. I am about to start to write the script for my new movie. The only problem is that I have writer's block. If anyone can come up with a really good pitch, I will exalt you once a day for a month and give you credit in my movie. There are a few guidelines though:

• Comedy
  
• Nothing stupid (eg. Napoleon Dynamite, Scary Movie 1-4, Date Movie, etc.)
  
• Low budget (come on, I'm 13)
  
• Can last over 20 minutes
  
• Max 12 characters
  
• Keep it PG-13
  

Thank you SO much!

This is perfect: A documentary about snail farming in Gdansk.

mokumenteries are acctually really good for low budget films... coz you really don't need that much special done to them as they need to look realistic...and also the camera work doesn't need to be 100%... and for comedy's talking heads are always gold (I mean look at The Office!) however the acting does need to be pretty good as it's supposed to be really realistic....


as for a plot.... I'll think on it.... not feelin very insperational at present.... I'll defiinately give it some thought tho

Actually...there is. In fact, there's two. You can see them on YouTube. One is 'That Dumb Agape Movie' and the other is 'Halloween: Little Mike.' They're short but I'm hoping for this one to be longer. The Agape one (which is (very loosely) a spoof of The Blair Witch Project) isn't that great because we didn't intend on making a movie but it ended up that we did so I edited it and put it on YouTube. The Halloween one (which is a spoof of the Halloween series) was scripted out a little more. We rehearsed the scenes before we filmed them and we planned out the scenes before we shot them. It wasn't exactly scripted, though. We just had the concept of what was going on. This new one, though, is going to be scripted and I'm trying to convince my friend to help me film it so it looks more professional switching between two points-of-view. I would give you the links to the videos...but my computer is running very slow and I'll be lucky if this even gets posted.

I cant think of anything right now that I am not planning on doing but good luck, I started making movies when I was a little younger than you are, if you really enjoy doing it keep at it, I go to college for it now and I cant picture myself doing anything else, theres a couple people on this forum who make movies and I'm sure any of them will give you help if you need it

[nothngupmysleeve]

Thanks for all of the ideas. I am in the midst of filming something but will be filming something else in the near future and could still use your help.

Thanks again!
