I have to create a film for my cinema class. Normally, I would love doing this, it's my career, but there are rules I have to follow and the professor has picked the "topic" of the film.
It has to be a short film (6 minutes) and the topic is "Chase." The film must consist of something following or chasing something else. It can be one person going after another, a car going after a person, a dog going after an elephant... anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be an action chase sequence, a simple "following someone" will do, as long as it's done nicely.
I hate when I have to follow rules because I can't be creative. The storyboard is due tomorrow and I drew some meaningless pictures. As long as we turn in a revised storyboard when filming is complete, we'll be okay, so I'm turning this one in like this.
So, help me think of an idea. What should it be out? Nothing cheesy (horror film, action film) and yet something simple. I had a great idea about rape (no, really, it was good) but I can't use more than 10% dialogue (ugh, another rule!). So shoot me some ideas. Here's some from past students:
1) Woman breaks up with man and leaves him. Man has flashbacks of their time together and runs after her. After he finally finds her at a bus stop, they get back together.
2) Woman walks down the street and a man follows her. He tries to impress her by dancing for her. She shrugs him off. The man gets his two friends to join and they dance again. She walks away. The man chases after her until she finally takes off her jacket and dances on her own. Impressed, the man's friends join her until the man himself joins and it's a dance-a-thon. They kiss. Movie's over.
