Question: How to come up with good ideas for short films!?
I know you need an imagination which i do have!. Its just that when i sit down and actually start to write a script i go blank!. I start off with a main idea!. But sometimes I dont know if they would be worth filming!. Like if the audience will like it!. My main focus is to get started and upload them on youtube!. I have this theory that writers get an idea randomly and write it down on paper so they dont forget when they go home to write!. Because i do think of things when im out all the time and when it comes time for the script ill completly forget!. Anyways haha thanks for reading this and if u know any script writing techniques or tips please let me know !.!. kk thanks! =DWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Don't sit down to write!. Capture ideas during the course of the day, when they come to you!. Turn them over in your mind briefly, until you have the essential components of your story: Characters, conflict, twists & resolution!. Then, sit down to write out the detailed version!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you have a really cool but weird dream, try to create a story out of that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
