Niles’ Secrets to Coming up with Ideas:
The Simpler, the Better When in doubt, keep it simple. Avoid over complicating the story. Ensure your baseline narrative is solid before adding any additional elements.
Be Intentional Make every shot count. For a three-minute short film, every frame must enhance the viewer's understanding of the narrative and convey the intended emotions or themes.
Steal Inspiration You are the content you consume. Draw inspiration from other short films, books, and TV shows. Study how lines are delivered and the timing of storylines. Use these insights to drive your ideas into action.
