Term 4, Lesson 3

Today I finalised my treatment for it to be handed in.

Treatment Overview
The treatment is a document outlining the project and showing what will occur in the film from beginning to end. A good treatment should be at least 2 pages long. Your treatment should include:

TITLE
RED

TOPIC/INTRODUCTION
The following production design is for a short film based on Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks, about a young girl who in is a relationship with a man that is cheating on her so she gets revenge on the girl he is seeing and frames the man for her death.

SYNOPSIS
The male character playing the wolf walking to a stingy motel room, checking a letter then his watch, then knocked in the door. Door is unanswered so putting pressure on it, it opens then screen flashes to white to signify going back in time. Words appear on screen 48 hours earlier. Showing Red leaving her and the wolfs house both expressing their goodbyes. Fade to black. Wolf and Gemma walking in an alley together unknowingly being photographed by members from a gang. Scene freezes then zooms out to a both in a restaurant with 3 big men in the gang three bears. Red walks in and sits down with them. They discuss a deal of the bears killing Gemma and receives money in return. Red then writes a letter intended for Wolf and kisses it and put in her bag, then nods in agreement with the bears. When she returns home she hides the letter in the Wolfs blazer pocket he wore with Gemma hanging on his chair. Fades to black. Gemma walking down an alley in fast shots signifying that she is being taken. Fades to black. Flashes back to the Wolf walking into the motel room finding Gemma dead. Flashes forward a week to an unknown person reading a newspaper with a photo of the wolf on it being called a murderer, newspaper lowers to see that it is Red just by her eyes. Fade to black.

RESOURCES
Red - Georgia-Rose, dress, heels
Wolf - Stan, hat, blazer
Gemma - dress, heels
Bear 1 - James, hat, blazer
Bear 2 - Bryce, blazer
Bear 3 - Luke, blazer

JUSTIFICATION
Using a 50’s setting and a clear story line we believe that it will translate the what we are trying to say easily.We will be using limited speech as we believe that a film noir film has limited speech which makes it more suspenseful.
