hey i was a film major in college and planning to do something. this is a tip that may help you create your own idea which is better and ultimately easier for you. first list all of the resources that you can get. how much money do you have? what kind of equipment? equipment that will be use full in the woods? in a small room? what access to sets do you have? if you only have realistic access to the houses of friends and family not bars or offices. that will affect the plot. a plot will begin to show itself after you figure out what you have.
for example you have:
- your house. roomy basement with lots of room for production

-a freinds house. large back yard cant see other buildings can be "small woods set"

3 cars. urs , friends, freind 2
adding the practical and the creative. you can have a film with "one" set (pick the most useful rooms from both places write as one house) that invlves out limmited out side scene and some driving. tehn go from there

etc
start as low budget as you can with one set. go on from there. a story will begin to shwo itself after that. create your own story so you are the captain and you are in charge. add others to help fine tune it with dialouge and scene writing.
