Here are a couple of film ideas

Ok I have a hard time writing and coming up with full stories but here are a few ideas that have been swimming around in my head.

A reality Show- or maybe in our case it would be a fake one.
Basically I have had this idea to make a reality show where a crew of professionals in different fields go around town and get homeless people off the streets.
-first we would get the bum's life story of who he was before he was on the streets and how he came to be on the streets.
-second we would get him consoling and AA if needed.
-third we would get him all cleaned up while finding out if he has any strong talents or interests.
-fourth we would get him classes based off what he likes and then we would help him find a job.

I think this may be a difficult task to do for this class but it is something that I think could be really interesting. I like some reality shows but most of them are stupid because we are just watching people ruin their lives. This is positive in that we get a little be of drama of how the bum is at first and his sad story but then we get to give him a heart warming ending or maybe it is a beginning???

I am also thinking about doing some kind of silent film/ no dialogue just music or sound effects. I am not sure exactly what I want to do but I know I do not want a Charlie Chaplin type happy film. I do like those but I think it would be interesting to bring out some sad or dramatic elements without words. For this class I really want to learn how to do a time lapse. I have this idea for a scene of a young, pretty 20-something girl sitting balled up on the floor or in a corner- drinking a lot of alcohol- over and over and over, but I am thinking that occasionally I would cut away to her trying to get dressed such as putting on make-up, curling hair- but as time goes on her hair gets ratty and her make up runs. This is a vision of mine and I am not sure if I am explaining it well but I hope to have some footage of this before the semester is over whether I get a chance to use it or not.

-I also have a tiny idea about a superhero/or maybe she is a villain. I haven't worked out the kinks yet... This is Opossum or is it, Possum Girl. She would be this cute teen- that wears ears, a hoodie with a large pocket, and a tail. She is shy- She would play dead when her evil doers are about to attack which would confuse them give her time to wake up/surprise attack her villains biting them and giving them rabies. Her predators would be eagles, hawks, owls, foxes-in human form with features of these animals.

I am not sure if any of this made sense but it is a start at least!
