So my friends and I love making movies and shorts. At the start of our freshmen year in High School we fell in love with film-making and photography, mainly because we were in the elective class "Video Production". So all the way through senior year we loved it and stayed in the class (VP 2, VP 3, Photography).
Now he we are and we still love doing it. I have, since I am the only experienced writer and I am the best photographer of our friend group, been the one to take up the task of director and screenwriter. Recently we started discussing the idea of a full length feature film. We all started writing our ideas down and stuff. Last night I created this awesome story line. I thought I'd share it here, see if my fellow writers agree with it (or if you are a film-maker too).
So it's a movie much like The Hangover and Project X. Our story is about six best friends who have a contest senior year to see who can pull off the greatest senior prank ever. Now I will give you the actual plot. Let it be known that this is the very first draft and the final draft will probably be completely different then this!
The main story features a group of friends, based off our friend group obviously. It starts with them on their first day of high school. It shows how they all meet, in detention because of a prank that they all got called out on (even though they had nothing to do with it). It shows a short montage of their next few years, gaining infamy from teachers and being looked up to as heros with each new class. Finally it is senior year.
So the group begins talking about the greatest prank ever but they can't all collectively decide on one. So they decide, or their leader (who will most likely be based off either Colton or Tim), decides to have a contest to see who can pull the craziest prank ever. They begin to all plot their pranks.
More of their friends, outside their group, hear about this and decide to also partake, wanting to show that they can be just as fun and crazy.
So with a whole bunch of people now involved, teams begin to form and pranks begin to take shape. Some major pranks will include (they all fail, resulting in hilarious injuries): replacing the school's coyote statue with real coyotes, dropping a stink bomb into the principles office via air vents, destroy the school's computer mainframe (I don't know how that would work but I think electrocution would be funny), and putting iching powder in the shoes and shorts of all the girls. They all fail.
So then they realize that pranking alone isn't a good idea. THey plan out the greatest prank ever: to put all the school furnature on the roof. The group (the original group), sneaks in after dark to pull the prank.
A crazed friend of theirs (based off of Adam, since Adam is kinda crazy and dumb) follows them. He plans to sabatoge them so he gets framed for the prank. Why? Back in freshmen year he pulled the prank (which was the flooding of the entire computer building) and because they were framed for it they got popular. He simply wants revenge.
He brings a paintball gun, along with his friends, and a fight breaks out. Most of the school gets painted from the fighting. After one of the friends forces them into the gym, he turns the lights off so they are in the dark. Adam turns on his lighter and tries to see in the dark. Suddenly, because of the stink bomb that is still present in the air, a chain reaction occurs that starts a fire. The friends try to pull their prank when the fire consumes the entire school. They escape, but just barely and they suffer some injuries.
In the aftermath Adam is left in the hospital from third degree burns that destroyed his body. He is also framed for burning the school down, resulting him him being expelled and loosing the privlage of graduation. The friends rejoice in their survival and decide to keep the fire a seceret, since they know they were the ones who really caused it.
The credits roll. After the credits it cuts to a collage dorm. As the camera moves down the hall, screams can be heard. Suddenly, the door at the end of the hall bursts open. The friends come falling out into the hallway, screaming and trying to stand to run. Out walks Adamn with a homemade flame thrower, saying he wants his revenge for the burns they caused him. The movie ends with him laughing, hinting at a possible sequel with the friends now in collage.
