Ideas for a Short Film

I am currently in the process of thinking of an idea to produce for me short film product. Obviously, there are set 'themes' which the majority of short films follow:


  • A conflict, big or small- a flm without out a conflict often has no base to the story.
  • A story or anecdote you have heard.
  • Something that has happened to you, possible exaggerated/simplified.
  • A generic film
  • A rite of passage story
  • Subvert the audiences expectations
  • A desire you have that either comes true or is thwarted
  • A historic event
  • A sense of closure
  • A tale with a twist
From this list I have narrowed down my choices and will probably replicate the idea or either a sense of closure, a right of passage or a conflict.

I have chosen these, simply due to the idea that the others (such as historic event) are not realistic for me to make successfully with the equipment/props/places I have access too.
