Book Ideas? Movie ideas? Stage Show Ideas? Song Ideas?

Question

Alright. I really need your help. I need some ideas, first, for a short film script. I am having total writers block. 
Book: This can be anything. Preferably a comedy. I can't ever think of comedies, so that'd be helpful.
Movie: I am writing a script for a short film, I don't have any actors yet... But first I need to write a script. It will most likely be 10-20 minutes.
Stage Show: I am writing a script for my grade 11 script writing class. Preferably a drama or a horror like idea
Song: I have writers block... Always for songs. I get a good chorus, but I just can't put in verses.

Any Ideas are welcome... I really appreciate it :) 10 points for anyone with a best answer.

I'm sorry but these ideas need to come from YOUR mind, not other people's. You need to think of ideas yourself and not ask the public for help. If someone were to give you an idea, it could easily be taken by someone else. I'm sorry that you have writers block and here are tips to help you: 

For the book: 
1. Think of a name that you like. 
2. Think of how a person with this name would look like. If you chose the name Erica, how does she look? Does Erica have blond hair or brown hair? Is she tan or pale? What makes her unique? Ask your self questions to get a good image of your character. 
3. Now think of EMOTIONAL characteristics. Is your character smart of dumb? What does she like to do? What does she dislike? 
4. Now think of where this character would belong. If your character is smart and logical, where does she fit in? Can you picture your character at the library or at the mall? 
5. Now base your plot around you character and what they like and dislike. If the character enjoys spending time at the mall, maybe she looses her wallet and it get stolen. Or maybe if your character enjoys trouble and doesn't care about school, she can get a F in class and then have to get an A on her test in order to not fail. 
6. Lastly, add the little details. You can find a location for your character or make a family for them. Add a best friend for your character. Do whatever you need to make your character relatable and livly. 

For the movie and stage show: 
You can use the list above for ideas in this also

For the song: 
Think of what you enjoy. Do you like the piano or drum better? How will your pieces fit together? Is this song classical, rock, the blues, etc.? 

I hope I helped! But remember these ideas need to be your own! If someone does the idea for you, then your not really doing the assignment, someone else is. 

Good luck!

No person who respects himself or his ideas will share with you original concepts. If you really cannot think of anything, I suggest you go online and look up basic plot structures, or try some writing prompts to unblock yourself.

Accept that you don't have an artistic bone in your body. I foresee a long and profitable career as an executive of a movie studio.
