I have a small idea for the final project. It's going to need some more elaboration, some more thought and some time to develop, but I think it could become something better than just an idea.
The premise? A movie playing inside someone's head.
I'm thinking the typical kid, probably no younger than 13 and no older than 20, not realizing what they have. Life gets "rough" for the character, and by "rough" I mean maybe they don't score with their love interest or they're doing poorly in a class- so nothing too tragic but enough to put our main character down in the dumps. But then, all of a sudden, he sees camera's around him accompanied by lights, microphones, and an entire film crew.
Why? His life is being made into a movie.
The director keeps changing what he doesn't like about the character's life, as if he is changing what he doesn't like about the film he is creating. Sometimes, the kid likes the changes the director makes and sometimes he doesn't. Eventually, throughout the story, the character realizes that he is in charge of his own life. He learns through the director that he enjoys his life just the way it is, and that he can do whatever he wants. He also learns that the drama in his life is nothing too tragic, and definitely isn't anything a movie could be based on.
