Any ideas on a good movie to make with our new camera?

Question by : Any ideas on a good movie to make with our new camera?
Well after months of saving up, me and my best friend finally have a new camera that can shoot in HD and has a good quality sound recording. We decided that we would open up a Youtube channel and shoot short-films to upload onto it for fun. I have a few ideas and I was wondering if you add to any of those ideas or if you could suggest a whole new idea on your own… (Note: I’m 15 and she’s 16 in case you wanted that information). I also listed the movie/s the idea was inspired by to give you an idea on what it MIGHT turn out like.

1) A band of two indie-rockers who try to get a gig in the local bar (my friend’s family owns a bar so we could easily film this) but start to find troubles within themselves after finding success amongst their audience. (Inspired by “Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist”)

2) A man dies and goes to purgatory where he is given the chance to go back into the human world and kill himself to stop him from committing horrible racial, sadistic, sexist crimes. (Inspired by “The Butterfly Effect” and “American History X”).

3) A couple are stuck inside a small murder room run by a psychopathic killer and neither of them can get out unless one of them kills the other, if neither of them decide to do it, one of them will be randomly killed after 24 hours. (Inspired by “Saw”).
Budget isn’t really an issue. For the first movie, we already have our outfits and our instruments (my friend’s bar has instruments already for open-mic nights) and there’s mainly only emphasis on backstage.

The second one is actually pretty cheap, we only need to edit the background out in Sony Vegas to make it white and to make it seem like what movies have perceived purgatory to be.

I think it would be easier and cheaper to do number 3. Sure, it’s been done alot but I personally feel as if number 2 and number 1 would be more difficult to do. Assuming it’s only you and a couple of friends, it would be much much easier to do 3
