Script Ideas for Timely Titles FILMING AMERICA — A fine title for a film taken on a cross-country motor trip. Or it could introduce a series of vignettes illustrating the American way of life, done right in your home town or neighborhood. The latter idea would naturally include parades, Thanksgiving dinner, Sunday morning funnies and so on. COMEDY CLUB — Practically any community has a Magicians Club, a Barber Shop Quartette group or some association devoted to the lighter side of living. Dig up one in your neighbrohood, and ask the president if you might take visual minutes of a meeting. A Liars Club would, for example, give you some wonderful footage. i OUR MUSICAL PRESENTATION — Next *ime the club or church group puts on a variety program — film it! And don't forget to go "backstage,'' capturing the last minute rehearsals, the fun and excitement of an amateur production. This is an ideal opportunity for Highschool Glee Club Productions. BUBBLE TROUBLE — The next time Junior balks at the Saturday nite tub 'n scrub give him a bubble bath. And then get the fun down on film. Or if a rainy day has both you and the small fry bored, furnish them with soap and bubble blowing apparatus and use the occasion to shoot some footage on your camera. MAILBOX NEWS — Take a walk with yojr neighborhood mailcarrier some day . , . and don't forget yojr camera. Record the hundred interest stories behind those letters he drops at each house. As a suggestion, you might follow the course of a piece of gossip, or do a story around the delivery of a wedding invitation. Could be either funny or dramatic, as you prefer. ICEBOX RAIDER — Wonderful idea for a movie about the family dog who was taught to open doors as a cute trick and later gives his Mister reason to regret the instruction. Or if some one in your family is on a diet you might do a film around his struggles to stay away from the cold chicken in the frig, and his final capitulation at twelve P.M., when he thinks no one is looking.
