Movie ideas

For my movie, I have this one idea for an introduction. It goes something like: "Some people believe that everyone has a place in this world. If that's true, then I haven't found mine yet." I don't have much after that.

Or I could do a mockumentary similar to "Teeth," but I don't quite know what the subject would be but mockumentaries are fun :).

I don't really have a third idea right now.

Jeremy,

Based on our conversation, I think that further exploring the mockumentary ideas would be a lot of fun and would allow you to learn much about both the documentary and comedy formats. Without giving too much away, I would advise you to look at a model of a documentary that you want to emulate, list out all of the techniques that make it seem realistic, and try to incorporate as many of those techniques in your piece. In addition, tHe more professional your technical quality is, the more believable your piece will be, and then the more funny.

You still need to draft the story idea. All documentaries, and thus mockumentaries, are telling a story. Is it the rise and fall of a band, is it how the band is doomed because of a certain incident. What is the story?

Finally, take a look at A Mighty Wind and Spinal Tap. and then take a look at some serious movies about the type of band you are professing to be.
