- Pick a genre. For example, science fiction, fantasy, comedy, horror, action, drama, film noir, romance, etcetera. - You're not limited to a conventional film. Perhaps, you have an idea for a **commercial**. Or even a **music video**. Or an exciting opening title sequence intro to an imaginary TV series. Or how about an abstract experimental 1-minute film? Anything goes! Be creative! ![1] https://steemitimages.com/DQmZEB8Fw9YCw9zcxgiN7yUh4RDPNeT3ewm3gf4KkpLkNCZ/image.png
