I want to make a short film that promotes eduction in my community and how friends could influence our life. Here is what I have in my mind, the idea is not clear as of now, but here is the general idea.
There will be a good guy who is successful and happy with his life. He starts to hang out with his bad friends, all of the sudden he becomes bad. At the end he regrets his decision and goes back to being successful. I want to show that friends do influence us in any particle way. There will be three transitions in his life, Being a good Person/ to a bad Person/ Finally to a good Person. The problem I don't know how to do that under 7 minutes.
Doesn't take time to change from whatever to whatever (7 minutes is not enough to show what he experienced !)
Isn't boring to do a film about education, how can I keep it interesting?
I don't know how much dialogue am I going to use, I want to avoid it as much as possible, so when do I use dialogues?
Is there any books I should read, or videos about writing screenplays? I want something like this if possible.
