Silent Film Ideas

[Number_9]

I know it's lame and all to get school help and everything on NS. But I've tried to think of a plot line for this assignment all day, and haven't come up with anything.

In my Creative Film Studies class, we're making a silent film. My teacher is making us have a plot line, etc. I absolutely can't figure one out. I'd like to do more nature stuff than human, but I don't know if I can get a plot with just ecological locations.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

For the dozens of short films I've written, I just imagine situations that could be entertaining, and add some characters whose personalities can bounce easily off each other. Think of experiences from your life that could be elaborated on. Imagine an overly confident, inexperienced kid taking a driver's license test, or a bicycle pizza delivery guy's first day on the job. If you're leaning toward natural environments, take a bad camping trip experience, or a canoe ride, or a hike through poison ivy infested woods at night... I'm leaning toward comedy (since drama is a bit more difficult without dialogue), but the options for drama are pretty endless as well.

Thanks man. That definitely helps.
