Beginning of Short Film Process

I want to base my film off the genres of thriller, film noir, suspense type genres or even a blend between the two. I think this would be a strength for me because last year we studied a horror unit in depth and this year we studied the film noir unit in depth. Both of these units have taught me key genre conventions that I can incorporate into my film.

A possible log line/idea for my short film for IB could be:
A boys problems flash before his eyes in an attempt to commit suicide. He realizes his life is valuable, but is too late as he kills himself.

Flow Chart:

Boy is in garage standing on chair with rope around neck.

Cuts to montage of flashbacks of him
1. Boy being expelled from school.
2. Boy running away from parents yelling at him,
3. Boy being handcuffed by police.

Cuts back to real time as tears are coming out of eyes. He kicks chair out from under him.

Cuts back to flashback of good memory of love of family when it is his birthday.

Cuts back to real time as boy tries to stop killing himself. Boy reaches for Chair but is too late as he dies.
