"Do" a play in 3 Minutes

You think that is hard? Look what I have to do.

And that's for a high school class.

Yup. It should be intresting. And to make it more challenging everyone is paired up with someone they don't speak to that often, or are complete opposites. Anyway, do you need to write a three minute play? If I were in your postition I would probobly write a comedic play about an everyday action. Such as frying an egg or brushing your teeth, where something goes wrong, like there's not enough toothpaste in the tube.

In Advanced Drama (at a high school) we have to make a short film... none of us have used a camera before, and this is part of our film unit...
Here's the catch:
1. Film must be basic boy-meets-girl, boy-gets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl-back plot
2. Film must contain a revelation of space (a setpiece or prop turns out to be something it's not)
3. Film must contain a revelation of character (ditto only with a person)
4. Film must contain water
5. Film must contain fire
6. Film must contain triangles (like in blocking)
7. Film must contain more than one set
8. Film must contain music from an unexpected source
9. All dialogue in the film must be famous, easily-recognizable direct quotes from classic movies or plays.

And my group sucks.
Ouch.
