Story Ideas

Here are a few quick ideas for a story using the three-act structure.

Idea 1

Act 1

A witless looking car character enters a parking lot; he tries to park but keeps banging into things.

Act 2

A security camera character is watching the car and laughing at his incompetence as he keeps reversing and accelerating as he tries to get into the space.

Act 3

The car has a look of determination on his face. He takes aim and zooms in the space. The car looks proud of himself and the camera looks disappointed. The car then lurches forward and both characters look surprised, the car speeds into the camera knocking it over.

Idea 2

Act 1

Two characters are lined up on a racetrack starting line, a suave looking sports car and a simple looking old banger.

Act 2

A starting horn sounds and the sports car speeds of, leavening the witless banger way behind. The sports car swerves through cone obstacles easily, whilst the banger knocks almost al of them over. 

Act 3

As the cars approach the finish line, the sport’s car well ahead. He begins to showboat not noticing a cone in the road that the banger sent flying earlier. The sports car trips on the cone and crashes as the banger takes the lead and the race.
