Issue: Teen Suicide
The idea I have for a short film noir is a message about teen suicide told from the perspective of the teen themselves. Similar to how many noirs are narrated by a person who has been murdered, my story will be told by the dead teen. The opening will either be the teen recording a suicide tape, or a group of people playing said tape out loud for the first time. While the beginning of the tape plays, a shot will display of the dead body, pistol in hand. The teen eventually makes a comment about starting the story from the beginning, at which point the scene will change to past events.
I haven't quite decided what the literal events will be, but generally I want to tell the story of a teen affected by the media in such a way that it completely destroys their self-esteem, eventually leading to their suicide. The plan is to make it gritty and depressing, watching the destruction of a once head strong and optimistic protagonist. The final shot will be the suicide itself, cutting right as the shot is fired.
