PLANNING: INITIAL FILM TREATMENT

 A Treatment will usually include a: 

TITLE: Usually a good title is used to present a solid central idea

LOGLINE: A one/two sentence stating an idea proposal 

SYNOPSIS: Outlines the key idea in more detail (300-500 words)

CHARACTERS: outline each main character with a short description and introduction 

TOPLINE: an 'elegant sentence which sums up the action' 

BIG QUESTION: What is the enigma which will unfold? 

NEXT:

•  After writing the treatment, you create a STORYBOARD (hand drawn on sheets we are given) which presents a brief visual idea of a storyline 
• and a SHOTLIST

BRAINSTORMING IDEAS: 

We initially brainstormed multiple different ideas and genres to start off with. We have access to a boat house, and therefore thought planning something which involves that location would be successful. 

Locations for Shots:

• Boat
• The Mansion corridors 
• Isolated places 
• Woods
• Empty car park
• Walking down an empty dark road

FILM IDEAS:

Props: 

• Pin Board
• Documents
• Pictures
• Files
• Doctors notes

• Genius girl with access to the whole/majority of her brain, is being stalked 

Effects:

Girl has more access to her brain than normal and therefore the stalker wants her cause she's different.
