Research and Planning: Treatment

Treatment (Proposal one.) 

After discussing with the tutor, we have decided that this idea is may be the best one because it allows us to play around with editing and cinematography.

•  MPAA Message (Rating)
• Handheld camera of the teens around the campfire with the recording button flashing in the corner. 
• The teens start to sway and then they fall to the ground one by one causing the camera to drop. 
• From the handheld camera's perspective on it's side we see figures being dragged off camera.
• The campfire suddenly goes out and it fades to black. 
• The production company/distribution name and logo come onto the screen and fade to black.
• Then single shot from the corner of the room over the characters.
• Fast editing from four perspectives, a camera in each corner. 
•  Light source in the middle of the room, goes out jump cut to black. 
• Light source is back on, we see a figure/silhouette in the furthest corner from the POV.
• Fast paced shots from various peaks e.g. characters getting hurt, zooms onto specific characters etc.
• Beat of a heart, non-diegetic.
• On each individual beat, the clip flicks between the killer's hand and the victim slowly. 
• Just as the weapon is being brought down.
• Cuts to black on moment of impact, we hear the thud. 
• Film Title come up. 
• Innocent cry of a female character plays over the top. 
• Coming Soon.
