My Notes From "Filmmaking for Teens: Pulling off Your Shorts" by Troy Lanier and Clay Nichols
-Go small, think snapshot, moment, don't get too complicated. -Choose a simple story you can tell completely.
-Subject yourself (Make you be the subject of the film). "Creating stories based on personal experience is a great way to ensure that your script will be unique and truthful, and therefore interesting.
-Unique experiences
-Seen or done something unusual?
-Know somebody cool?
-An encounter
-a twist of fate
-a surprise
-a disruption
-a dream
Once an appealing idea is found, put it away for a day, and pick it up again and see if it still seems like a good idea.
