Treatment

(This is the first copy of our treatment)

The genre of our film is romance. For our film we will need three characters maximum. The film is about a couple and the girlfriend has health issues which she does not want to disclose to her boyfriend, she believes that it is not fair on him that he has to live with her illness so she decides to leave him. So one day whilst the boyfriend is at work she decides to leave. She leaves in letter explaining her reasons for leaving. As soon as the woman leaves the man comes in finds the letter. He is shocked by what he is reading. He runs out the house and drives around looking for her. Millions of flashbacks are going through his mind at this point and figures out that she has been rather strange lately. He is going ballistic and is not in the right state of mind. He drives past the hospital thinking she might be in there so he turns back. Driving at full speed to reach the hospital so he can see what is dearest to him, his girlfriend, maybe for the last time. He drives closer and closer to the hospital and is at a ferocious speed, not aware of his surroundings. Just focused on reaching that hospital. Suddenly as he looks at his windscreen he sees a woman, he breaks but not hard enough and the woman comes thumping onto the car and then the floor. He rushes out of his car to see that it is his girlfriend. The protagonist, in disbelief, looks down and the film ends. Our film is a romance film which has a very different twist to it and is different from the typical love film where the lovers reunite in the end. We believe this will appeal to our audience.

Our audience is people aged between 16 to 25, as the couple in our film is a young couple. We’ve decided not to make our film no longer than four minutes as it would be too lengthy and may bore the audience. We want them to be engaged throughout the film. Everything in film happens in the same hour so therefore we will not need many props. The only place we will need some props is the scene where the protagonist is going through the flashbacks. For this we will only need a change of clothes for each character and this can easily be attended to. The location of the film is mostly going to be on the roads so therefore we thought we’d use small quiet estate roads so therefore it’d be easier to film the crash scene without causing trouble for the public and other drivers. We are still working on the getting our actors but this task can easily be handled as we know many people who will be willing to be in the film but we just need to pick the right person for each parts. We are planning our film to be mainly on youtube, this will be our main platform. We are also thinking of also uploading our film onto facebook.
