Realization
Allah (swt) put people in your path for a reason. Alhumdulillah with the help of individuals I now have a movie idea that I will go though with inshaAllah.Following ideas will be implemented inshaAllah:
Story about a youth who was a good kid, He is one of 3 siblings. He has a bossy older sister, and a younger sister who looks up to him and whom he loves very much. He is the middle child sandwhiched between the two, not getting much attention from the parents.
After coming to high school he begines to go astray. Facing the difference of cultures, change of hormones, and peer preasure he wants to fit in. He gets caught up with the wrong guys who lead him into small things which leads to getting involved with marijuana. His little sister does her best to talk to him to bring him out of it, but to no avail.
This leads to attain haraam rizq, and drug dealing. Soon he pulls away from Islam. When this happens his younger sister begins to be afraid of him and his actions. I want to encorporate a thing where...a guy witnesses a crime and he begins to run. the astray kid goes after him only to find out that hes one of the muslim kids just nosing around.
The tragic incident - the astray muslim kid...makes a choice, which is to go against his bad way of life, which ends him up shot b/c the ones hes with wont take that.
When the tragic incident happenes some of the muslim kids that were 'so-so' on the path....get straight...When this happens it makes the Muslims around him realize that path they are treading is no good..death is right there...
... .. ...... .. ...... .. ...
Alhumdulillah...
...Movie idea is selected :-)

May Allaah put barakah in this project and allow it to reach those who need to see it most, and perhaps, it will act as their reality check and wake-up call to a change in their lives for the better in sha'a Allaah, ameen.
Movie Points:
- Make apparent the fact that immigrant parents are oblivious to High School culture in America
- Show the experience of High School students and how drugs do affect them
- Show that Muslim teens many times possess split personalities
Is this the script that I wrote? It sounds similar but some parts sound madd different.
The idea of the Muslim bro getting into drugs is from the script that you had written, but the other parts are totally different.
One thing though, how are you going to fit that into a 10 minute movie???? Another thing is, wat camera do u use? and editing software ,mics, etc.,?
salamu'alaik bro
Its too cliched - tons of movies have been made like this with a very similar plot.
Work on the plot some more - I wanna make it stick in my mind. Make that happen nad the movie will advertise itself because everyone will be talking about it.
"One thing though, how are you going to fit that into a 10 minute movie????"
Who said this is going to be a 10 min movie?
"Another thing is, wat camera do u use? and editing software ,mics, etc.,?"
Looking forward to using the Sony HDR-FX1. Where i work, we have them. I just need to find out if i can get permission to take the cameras off location.
Editing software: audio- sound forge, video- adobe premiere
Mics? looking to get a sennheiser shotgun mic.
"Work on the plot some more"
InshaAllah ta'ala. Working on it :-)
Dont let the Muslim kid get killed, if thats what you mean by shot. Those type of endings are played out. He should become a practicing Muslim and feel the difference in his life from what it had been previously.
"who said it was goin to be a 10 minute movie?"
i was referring to the ym showdown thingy, if you're not doing it for the ym showdown, then i guess you're doing it for art? am i right or wrong?
and as for the sony hdr camera, i want one of those real badly, but i think the panasonic ones are better, just look it up on cnet.com, and where do you work????? if it's anything related to the film industry, give me a card!
By the way, 3 reasons why the main Muslim character should not get killed...
1. It will make the movie unrealistic
2. People wont be able to relate too it
3. But if the Muslim kid goes on the straight path and doesnt get shot, people will be able to relate to it and it will make a bigger impact on them
never mind about the camera, i was confused, sony hdr fx1 is the pinnacle
"if you're not doing it for the ym showdown, then i guess you're doing it for art? am i right or wrong?"
Its for dawah :-)
"and where do you work?????"
In a university.
