Ideas for a short film:

This is the kind of idea I'd like to produce, I like the fact its quite different and would be fairly simple to replicate, I thought it was particularly effective because the idea is quite simple but keeps you engaged and even though its quite cliche with convincing acting I could make it different. I would use my sister as the main actress instead and make the memories longer scenes as opposed to just flashing images, because Im using someone younger (16)instead of just focusing into the past I think I want to base the memories on something bad thats happened in her life or something really good and film he recalling this big event.
