5 teenagers growing up in in a large city battle through their senior year in highschool as they live the life every teenager witnesses. drug abuse etc. they seperately try to find th emeaning of life and what its for and why they are here on this earth. they each end up with a different answer in a twistful ending. any ideas let me know. remeber im a beginner here thanx alot!
Ok, my point is that when you start watching a lot of first time films and college films, the majority of them have to do with a character struggling through life, searching out meaning, or it finds the character, and either the character lives happily ever after or dies.
I've seen good examples of this, one of the better ones, in my opinion, being one of the less violent and angst ridden ones, was Braff's Garden State. Technically, another good version of this would be Dicken's a Christmas Carol.
I can't tell you how to spice it up, I can just tell you to avoid a linear copy of what I said before... character struggles, finds enlightenment or chases it but doesnt find it, lives happily ever after or dies. 9 times out of 10 its a male character and he's just finishing high school or starting college, is trapped as a suburban hoodlem forced to comply with societies order, addicted to something or has some other problem, then meets a girl/has a moment of enlightenment and now everythings going to be different. I'm saying the formula is OK, and can be warped, just dont fall too much into the trap of making just another movie like I mentioned.
I like the idea of 5 simultaneous stories going on as long as you handle it right, but that might be a big task for a first timer.

...Garden State is a good example. One I thought was good was the Virgin Suicides. Though the females in the film end up dead, the ending doesn't tie up any loose ends. When I first saw it, I immediately fell into the 'well, why did they all do that?' mode. But what makes the film different is that it leaves the story the way something like this actually would end; with everyone wondering why and not having any real answers. Usually, a film tries to explain everything. Here, the suicides are left just as they were, with everyone confused and not knowing how to respond or act or what really was the reasoning.
...so, whatever you decide to do, give it an unusual turn.
