    Hi

    I need an idea for a short film FAST for a college assignment. The film is to be 3-5 mins long with no dialog at all. I was given this piece of music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTqsU7tQW48(Shostakovich-Symphony no.5 in D Minor) to have playing through it and need an idea to go with the music.

    I need to have a presentation done with my idea by the weekend so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks.

    As that piece is very dramatic, you could do something with the worlds news as it is now, maybe something on that meteor.. could turn out pretty good if the right clips are got and put correctly to the music. Just a suggestion off the top of my head :D

    Thanks for the idea but i dont think we're aloud to add clips and it would be tough to pull of a news show with no speaking just classical music haha

    I am in a rush!..was thinking along the lines of a chase theme maybe? because if you listen to the last movement of the symphony(37 mins) it very dramtatic and fast paced.

    Yea maybe something like a chase wouldn't be bad, do you have to film solely alone, or will you have some sort of partner or team ?
