So for my digital video class i have to write a script for a short film. The only requirements are that it has to be between 45 seconds to a minute and that it has to take place in the same setting throughout the whole thing. Give me some ideas

fuck man just be creative. I'd give you a bombass one but were entering it in whistler film festival next year. I dunno man, i guess for some ideas youtube 'arbitrarily pear'. I don't expect you'll be that creative but it'll give you some ideas.

The cool thing about short films is that it isn't mandatory for them to have a plot. You could make a vignette about contemporary life, social cliches, whatever.

Heres one I made that makes fun of hockey players:

write about a man named arnold who finds a pot of gold in his closet but when he takes the money is captured by mystical creatures such as unicorns, Big foot (even though he exists), Aliens, and the lochness monster. then tied up and tossed into the arctic ocean and is miraclously saved by free wily who is then killed by pochers.
