Hey guys,
I've recently been given a school assignment as a part of my coursework. I have to write a 1800 word screenplay of a an imaginary film. Now, I have a number of very basic ideas but none of them seem quite right. I'm really stuggling to come up with a decent plot. Does anyone have any ideas?

What sort of content is allowed? Restrictions like age-appropriateness would rule out romance and violence from the story.

I don't have any ideas of my own, but you could just browse fictionpress.com for a good plot. Bonus points if you ask the author's permission; it would make them feel proud.

Ok, I've given it some thought and I've come up with an idea. The story is about an everyday man, who becomes a cruel victim of fate after witnessing a huge bank robbery. He and his wife and kid are then put under a strict witness protection scheme, after it is learned that the criminal mastermind who organised the robbery is out to get them. Sound alright so far?

I decided the film will start on a remote beach in Perth, Australia. Which the family have been moved to as a part of the protection scheme. One of the police officers who is charged with protecting them suddenly enters the scene, and drives them to a different location, believing that someone might have got wind of their location. During the car journey the main character get flashbacks of what happened the day of the robbery....

That's all I got so far.

I have an idea. So, he keeps getting flashbacks during the ride. Some other stuff happen in between, which I am sure you can think of. Near the end, the police officer who is driving them, tells them that they arrived at the location, and suddenly the man gets another flashback, realizing that the "police officer" is actually one of the robbers, and he is trying to kill them. Then there's a fight, and a heroic scene, and drama and blah blah....happy end.

Sounds good?

Yes, perfect. You need a twist. What turned me off to the first idea was that you introduced WPP before you said the bad guys were onto them. Having the cop be the criminal is a cool idea.

Yeh I think the cop being a criminal is a good idea. But I don't a twist would suit coming into the film this early. I would rather have a huge twist towards the end of the movie. Just remember I'm only doin one scene though.

I mean a scene, a short segment of the film.

If you're divided into a group, suggest my idea to them. You can direct the dramatic-action part
