Are you going with friends? On your own?
How long? What's your budget? What equipment and crew do you have available to you?
Provide some more details and we can provide something useful.
If you are looking for idea creation help then focus on doing something very simple. Try telling a story with no words or try and have a story that is underneath the dialogue. Another example is to take some very simple dialogue and have it delivered in two ways that tell contrasting stories.
Your post doesn't really explain what you are after. Give some more context and I'm sure you'll get lots of help.
I tried to help you out and said twice about providing more information.
What is this for? What is the point?
It seems like you're asking for story ideas, and this may not be the best place for that. This is mostly related to the technical side of things. You should search online for writers groups and try there if you're looking for help with the story.
If you want to make an actual movie with a story, even if it's a short film, then you'll need more than an iPhone to film it. iPhones are fine for taking short, casual videos, but you'll want dedicated camera and sound equipment if you want to make a movie.
I disagree. If it's a chance to make a short an iPhone is a good place to start as it keeps everything simple.
Did you read my first post? I gave you some creative ideas and you seem to have ignored them? I don't understand how we are meant to help when we try and you just don't take it in!
The best advice is.......Forget about ideas. Just go and play around. Video what takes your eye.
To really embrace the idea of you making a movie you need to invest.
All you props will be there and the people to make a fly on the wall video.
I say have fun and come back to the forum when you are more serious and can give us better information.

Now you tell me -- co-eds, giant alligators, large rubber sharks, flocks of piranha, undying psychos -- all that just went out the window. You don't even have enough manpower to shoot an iPhone commercial.
Make a video about a 14 year old guy trying to make a movie with an iPhone. Interviews. Unacceptable footage. Great footage. Confusion. Anger. Joy.
One of you is the reporter and the other is the would-be filmmaker.
A documentary, see? You could go all post-modern and change off as filmmaker vs subject.

There is no reason you can't be ambitious at that age. There is a lot of good information in this thread but it seems that you appear to have glazed over most of it.
What are you looking to get from this thread?
make a harlem shake video
LOL .. because we all know that hasn't been overdone yet
I'll add a few links for the tech side so that you and your friends can be ready no matter your age, you should keep the second link in mind to practice with and the first one is just nice to have to start with fwiw.
Good luck

Also keep in mind there are some cool cheap lenses for iPhones to add. This is all for playing around and nothing serious but it can help create a story board if you don't have an artist, can't draw or sketch or are alone so take it for what it's all worth… low budget, no money and using what you have. You can make some cool stuff but if your story just sucks it's all for nothing.
There have been some great ideas for you here, now it's up to you to do the rest and have fun
PS, when I was your age I worked for a landscape company, made cash and bought art supplies with said money. There is always a way that is safe and healthy to get what you need and to build up fun stuff with a bit of effort, plus it gave me ideas for design which ended up in my favor, the owner liked my designs for landscape, he had me draw plans up so we both made more money and this added to my real creativity, not just cutting grass
