im making a movie!


Question Posted Tuesday February 27 2007, 7:09 pm

me and my friends are making a movie for school. we are doing it on how girls our age act and what they do in their free time like talk online, on the phone, watch t.v, go to the mall etc.

so we want it to be extremely funny and a comedy. for example i will start coughing and my friend will say "whats wrong?" and ill say "sorry im allergic to stupidity."

we need funny lines that 13 year old girls would say. please help out!!!! thank youu

I think it's a great idea to be given the task of making a movie for school. I think what you need to do as a team is pick someone to direct it and someone else to write the script with the others acting. This keeps things under control and if someone doesn't pull their own weight will not impact on how you are assessed.

What you need to do is come up with a premise for your film. By this I mean take your "What do girls do in their spare time?" question and focus on only one thing such as shopping, going online, talking on the phone and make it about that one area and not everything else.

You'll stay on target that way and have an easier time of writing the script, directing it, editing it and making the final product as everyone will have their own tasks to perform.

Your writer should focus on what makes him/her laugh about your topic and start writing scenes and dialogue from that perspective. It sounds as though you are already on track with some decent one-liners for your age group and peers. Stick with those and come up with more.

While I could give you some snappy one-liners its best to come from your minds only as that's what the teacher is assessing here. Keep doing what you are doing with the lines as they are working and unfortunately we know nothing about what makes your peers laugh or respond.

You know what does and if you think it's working so far keep at it. Just make sure one person handles the writing, another the directing and have your actors. Help the person writing with some one liners but see what they can do when they narrow your topic to one area rather than many to focus on.
