MAIN TASK Treatment

The modern day version of Romeo and Juliet, the tragic story about two individuals who can’t be together, but their fates are inter-locked. The target audience for my film are for over 16 year olds, due to it being a violent and may include some strong language. Who are into their romance movies, even action. This movie is jam packed with action scenes and scenes which will bring tears to the audience’s eyes. Most people are into their action/romance movies so the people that will watch my film will be fascinated and satisfied.

 

This film is about two lovers who are being stopped from seeing or being with each other by her brother who is a well feared man. The main conflict and mission of this movie is trying to evade the brother and be together. This will be shown as very difficult throughout the film due to the brother tracking their every move, and for them this will be the hardest challenge.

The main theme of the film is romance and action, and tragedy. My hook is that straight away in the film I will show the ending of the film to catch the audience’s attention so they will want to watch the whole movie to find out what has happened to trigger that event. The starting off the film will start off with the main character tied up and beaten up. This will create tension in the audience and they will try and find out what’s happened. So for that reason, the audience will keep watching and they will stay at the edge of their seats. The starting video of the individual in the chair will have many different effects to give the hint of the character being dazed and wounded, I will blur at moments and cut off sound to make him seem like he’s dazed. First person view will be used to show his point of view and what he can see.

A timescale will be shown and indication of time change will be shown, in the first scene, the couple will be shown together, happy and smiling. An establishing shot will be used to set the scene and show where the film will take place, in the background it will have calm and loving music to set the mood. Which is happy and romantic. The screen will fade to black as the music fades out also. Then the two individuals will be shown walking together, the screen will split into two. The brother of the girlfriend in the other screen, he is a large figure with a smart suit on which holds connation’s of authority, importance and superiority. As the brother quickly approaches a far shot is used to show the difference between them, then the camera changes to one camera instead of split screen. Various shots are used in the conversation, shot reverse shot, and match on action. The brother takes the sister away in a far shot to create the mood that the girl is being taken away from him, with slow sad music playing in the background to create affect. The boyfriend would have casual clothing on, nothing expensive.

The scene changes, match on action can see while the brother opens the door. Low-key lighting will be used when the individuals steps inside, silent would cover the house.
