Preliminary Story Idea

Main Story Idea:
  • Our main character is a guy going through depression due to work and personal problems.
  • In the first scene, he will be walking over to the pub in frustration.
  • He arrives to the pub and starts having a few pints.
  • After getting a bit tipsy, he moves on to shots.
  • The pub starts closing down, he goes outside for a cigarette and comes across a lady.
  • They start a conversation about ongoing issues the both of them are going through.
  • She offers the guy to go back to her house for a few more drinks.
  • They walk back to her house.
  • They start drinking.
  • She offers a shot of tequila but puts some sort of drug in the shot glass.
  • As soon as he takes the shot, he blanks out.
  • He wakes up in his own bed, with a gun and blood on his hands and bed.
  • He finds a note in his pocket from the lady, saying thank you for helping me out.
  • He gets a sudden flash back of what happened. 


Why I Like It:
  • I like how the story progresses throughout.
  • This story can be considered a mix between a drama/thriller and these are my favorite types of genres.
  • I like the way that both characters have the theme of depression in common.
  • The way the guy doesn't remember anything, leaves the viewers in suspense.
  • The final scene where there is the flashback is a good way of presenting to the viewers what actually happened after the main character blanked out.
