If I was making up a story, it may be a movie or a tv show or a play, what would you want it to be about?

Question

I may write one yes. Now, it will already be a drama, action maybe. But, any thing particular you would like to hear and that would be a great play or movie to see? No horrow no comedy. Like a particular story, what type of characters. Brave or strong? HAve an actual story or lil story and lots of action? Want it to have mystery? (Please help. I don't like people who just answer for points. Kinda selfish dont ya think?)

Answer 1

Since I want to make films as well then if I come up with a premise that I want to see then I'll probably just keep it for myself. So, just a tip in case you're planning on asking anybody in real life - be sure they're not interested in a career in film.

Anyway, there are seriously an infinite amount of stories and premises. You never know what people will want to see. I mean, just look at the recent gameshow take-off. Deal or No Deal comes around and suddenly every network has one or two gameshows, when just several years ago Who Wants to Be a Millionaire sparked the same thing, and then there was that big gap of not having any gameshows (until No Deal, of course). So, maybe you can think back in time to what was popular in the past, and make it re-popular by making it different and fresh and more exciting (especially if action is involved).

Or, you can think about what's popular right now, like medical shows and shows set in casinos, and think about what concepts have recently teetered out, like shows about lawyers and the courtroom.

That's for TV. For movies there are just as many of these fads, and like TV, they come and go, or they come and go and then come back. If you study some of your favorite movies I'm sure you'll get a feel for what it is you want to write, because really, you have to write what you know, and what you're fine or good with; otherwise, good luck writing what other people tell you to write. Anyway, think about your favorite movies and what else came out during that time (try boxofficemojo.com), and you might find one of those things that used to be hot but faded out, but that you can make good again in you're own way if you have a unique take on it. I'm sure you can figure out something in terms of that.

Just, whatever you do, don't try writing a cash-in that's exactly like what's hot now because one movie or TV show started this craze. Most times the cash-ins are honestly just inferior and not memorable.

Answer 2

I would like also to write stories but I can't start it yet. I would like to have a story of two people destined to be together but always taken away by difficult situations like family and society. There would be struggles and trials and the strength of the characters are visually shown. I would also to have some humor to lighten some scene so the readers would not only cry. I hope I'd help.

Answer 3

You could base it on real life just change the names, places and terminology. How about something along the lines of the diebold election computers and their ezy hack capabilities? or how terror is used to keep people scared and paying more tax dollars to the government? maybe a secret agent story full of political espionage and intrigue, Ive seen a lot of movies where they mesh real life events with more creative storylines and these seems to get a fair bit of attention. Foucaults pendulum was one book that kept me riveted to every page, same goes for the DaVinci code etc.....good luck in your writing.
