Hey /lit/.
I've got an assignment for my creative writing class.
I need to make a 15 minute movie, containing any 3 of the following:

Love, Hate, Jealousy, Leadership, Failure, Friendship, etc.

I've got 4 girls in my group and myself, a guy.

I was thinking of doing a narrative Dexter-styled spin off. Sort of "The birth of a serial killer".

Can you guys give me any ideas? Or a completely different story? I'm open to all suggestions.

I fear that the rest of the morons in my class will fail to see the sheer fucking win. Anything else?

already saw that its called "Big Love"

Love breeds hate and jealousy. One of the chicks is a lesbian boom you got all three there cause none of the other chicks are lesbians and u and her have a heart to heart because u also think they are hot but cant fuck them emotions ensue and you kill her because u don't like to have feelings

Two words, OP. Two little words that will solve all your problems. Two beautiful, glorious words. Harem anime.

[Anonymous No.1898910]

I love these. Getting some great ideas.
What do you guys think about a narrative? Like adding a voice-over of the main character's thoughts.

[Anonymous No.1898913]

The women start making eachother sandiwches, you are hateful and jealous at their failure. You decide to kill them. Then you realize you have no means for sandwiches. You starve to death. You get sent to hell for murder and find three of the women. One went to heaven because she had still been making sandwiches for a man, as one of the women in hell secretly has a dongle. S/he flashes it at you. Suddenly Heath Ledger approaches you in a nurse outfit and you make idle conversation about Tolkien's body of work. It turns out Heath heavily dislikes Two Towers, whereas it is your favorite. You arrive at an impass.

Silent film. Everything can be told with the camera.

[Anonymous No.1898921]

I need some concrete ideas that will last 15 minutes. Not all 5 characters need to play major roles, just as long as they're all on camera atleast once.

I clapped so hard i stopped fapping
u need to do this harem thing

y a voice over do u even have a main character?
YA let me rip you out of the reality of the moment with some thoughts i should artificially present. if u wanna say something use dialog. If you really wanna rip off dexter have no dialog on serial killer monologue voice over.
Have the girls talking about the project each one bitching about one detail or another then the voice over starts to plan in detail their deaths but just before the brainstorm session ends one girl turns to the serial killer guy and says "what u think" and he decides to step up to the plate and lead the group by makeing a movie about a group of people trying to make a movie where one guy is thinking of killing off the others

We've moved on from that. Please update yourself. :)

[Anonymous No.1899048]

f u i'll never update myself

[Newtopia No.1899051]

Dexter should be filming the entire conversation passing the camera around making sure everyone is acquainted with how it works
get the girls to make their own dialog but think is what i can add to the required Jealousy, Hate, Leadership.
Jealousy
1 has had a hard time with her boyfriend they fought over something and took a break and are back together during the break he got facebook comments from an ex and he liked them and shes pissed like "she keeps sending him signals and hes like "im just being polite and it was funny so what r u mad at we r together now right its on my profile and everything"" she passes phone around all the time trying bring attention to herself. gets pissed when #3 takes too long looking at her boyfriends profile pics

[Newtopia No.1899052]

Hate obviously
Dexter makes plans phone pass to him flips through pics "Nice bedroom on first floor. (pun about pillow fabric not breathing) Finger prints remember to pick up latex gloves. Obviously has roommates need to move her somewhere private"
Musing of locations on campus where one might display a body
thoughts if he should take one right after meeting or wait for an appropriate time? best not to be witnessed as last person speaking to her.
poetic rhyming verses about knives and ruby blood

Conclusion:
4# "we cant do Shakespeare it need to be original work.Plz tell me you got something better then these idiotic suggestions Dexter"
Dexter Mono"*SHOCK*"
Dexter aloud"Yes well one things been going through my mind this entire time"*chuckle* "Id like to spend as little time on this as possible since you all have so many more immediate pressing concerns we could use the footage we just took and put some voice over narrative of one of use plotting to kill the others"
4#"uhuh chilling"
2#"that could work"
1#"whatever" already putting i phone ear buds on and walking out
3#"Wow that's cool. A good idea. You shut her up. And we are done filming in time already. I thought i wanted to be the director but your good, since its your baby txt us when to meet and we can get started editing. Bye"
2# follows her out
4# holding the camera filming all of this."Cool now that i got you confession on tape i dont have to worry about actually being murdered"
Dexter Mono "Shit(or)FIN"

Thank you everyone, from all your suggestions.

Newtopia, I owe you a beer someday.

[Anonymous No.1899143]

Easily combine everything besides leadership.

A pair of friends both fall in love with a girl one fails and hates the other for it and is jealous. I see the whole limitation with the 4 girls 1 guy thing so maybe you would want to do like all 4 girls fall in love with one guy idk.

[Newtopia No.1899211]

Whats the title everybody? i got no ideas on that

put it on youtube and we r good
