Music and Sound Effects
I found a couple of royalty free music and sound effects websites which either have their work licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License or an End-user License Agreement. So this means that I can download and use any of the files on their website as long as I credit them. The websites I found are freefx.co.uk and audionautix.com.

Script for It Ended dialogue.
Intent
I want my script to create melancholy atmosphere, and through the characters words convey emotions like sadness and loss. I want the dialogue to make the viewer empathise with one or both of the characters.
My two characters are a male and a female.
I want my script to create melancholy atmosphere, and through the characters words convey emotions like sadness and loss. I want the dialogue to make the viewer empathise with one or both of the characters.
My two characters are a male and a female.
M: It Ended. I guess i felt kind of more vulnerable after. But I've started going out more now. Definitely, going out more.
F: I think, people really like me when they first meet me. But then they go off me. I can feel it. I can see the change in their eyes.
(Dialogue overlapping slightly)
M: She had these blue flowery curtains.
F: He's got this shirt. Its my favourite shirt. It's like a white one, a white plaid one.
M: I didn't really like her friends at school. All of them felt so young.
F: He wore it for one week when I told him that I really liked it. And then, sort of, stopped. I didn't see it for a while, I really liked that one.
(Finishing and starting each others sentences)
F: he said
M: I don't remember being here, and she said
F: you wouldn't
M: he didn't understand
F: so he just smiled
M: she said
F: I first met you when I was fifteen
M: what she meant was, the subtext was
F: this has gone on for too long, things have changed, it's not the same anymore
M: because things have happened
F: things don't stay the same, people they grow
M: they meet new people
F: and the ones they used to know become less important
M: because they don't really know them at all anymore. She said
F: if this is it then that's okay
M: but he didn't understand, what she meant was, what the subtext was
F: this is the last time and that's okay for me. He didn't understand
M: so he just smiled
F: she walked home.
M: he took the train home.
F: she didn't see him again.
M: he didn't see her again.
Second idea for short film.
My second idea is to make a film which reflects images off of dialogue, so my shots are cut in time to the dialogue of my two main characters to show a reflection of their lives to show who they are through a series of shots. And then over the top of the shots have a dialogue which tells a story of how the two characters are related and what happens to them.
I decided to use two characters because, in my short film survey, I found most people expected more than three characters in a short film so I want to challenge this convention by showing it can be done with just two.
Here is a storyboard for my idea:
