Short film project

[supermyrtle]

Hello everybody, I have a little question that I need some help with.

I have to make a 5-10 min film for a film class that I'm taking this semester, and I am perfectly horrible at coming up with good ideas for the story. I've been trying to come up with a storyline for about the last month, and this project is now due in two weeks so I really need help coming up with a good idea.

I am hoping to make some kind of comedy, and pretty much all my friends that could be in my film are girls and I live in a really boring city so I don't have a lot of places I can go to film besides my apartment, parks, and then around my campus. So those are kind of my limitations.

I'm just wondering if anyone could help steer me in the right direction or maybe help me come up with some ideas to get me started because I am completely stuck right now.

Thanks so much!!

Hmm, well I don't really know what you call a good idea, but a short film that was started and unfinished due to time and the worst actors of all time (class project where i had to use the group I was assigned as actors). The plot line was basically two competive, academically perfect college student friends. One of them discovers the other has been cheating off of him through the last 4 years, a fight breaks out in the fencing club they are both in. Then they challenge each other to a joust at Wal-mart.

It's not the greatest of all ideas, but it's a lot of fun to watch and make.
