Ideas for short films

1. My short film ideas

2. When thinking about my short film I decided
that I needed to go into depth with what I
could offer for each genre. As I looked at
some different short films I have had a few
ideas of which I like and what I think I could
produce well.

3. Comedy
This idea is one of my favorites as I need
something that will keep me entertained whilst
editing. When I looked at Slinky I really didn’t
like it as it wasn’t my humor therefore I would
not do something that doesn’t have any
meaning behind it. If I created a comedy short
film I think it will be easy to understand and that
the audience will also be more likely to be
engaged.

4. My idea of a comedic short film is of a young
female who still plays with toys. She believes
that the toys still come to life and talks to them
when playing with them. The short film is about
the relationship with the toys and how as she
has grown up so have the toys in a more mature
way. I will try to make it funny as the toys will be
shot and I can have a talented actress to have a
voiceover whilst the toys are being filmed. It will
also allow me to use my editing skills well as I
can make it more exciting.

5. Rom com
A rom com short story for me would be quite
hard as I will have to try and find two willing
actors. I think if I did do this genre as my
short film it would look very good if edited
well however I don’t think I will be using this
as it is not my preferred short film
suggestion.

6. My idea is that two people who were in a
relationship are both going their separate
ways and it follows their day to day life after
their split. There will be split screens and
various editing techniques and at the end
they finally bump into each other which then
makes the audience allow them to think of
their own ending.

7. Horror
I think that horror will probably be one of the
easiest short film genres to do because you
can easily make anything scary by the way
that you edit it together. The only problem
with this you will have to make sure that
props and costumes are very professional
looking which would be hard for me as I am
not that good at making scary costumes as I
would be scared as well.

8. I will probably have a horror about different
characters that come to life and walk around
in different locations. As I have a graveyard
near my house that would be a great
location to film however I never watched a
horror so I don’t think that it would be a very
good choice for me to do.

9. One with a meaning/message
I would really like to do a short film with a
meaning at the end. When watching them I
enjoyed the ones with a meaning like
umbilical. However I don’t want to do
something that has been done before like
bulling etc as I think that that could be
boring.

10. My idea for this is of a teenage girl who Is
insecure and follows how she hides away
from friends, family and how she tackles
with the insecurities she has. The only
problem with this I will have to have 1 main
character that I will have to film quite a lot
and in different locations which could be
impractical with the time schedule I have.
