Final Idea - Treatment

As a group we all decided to use the "The Journey" as our final idea treatment to use in our short film.

The reason I chose "The Journey" is because I feel that the themes involved are important and unique. The main themes in this idea is separation, lost siblings, journey, togetherness and perseverance. I also find these themes inspiring and I potentially feel I could make a good impact short film out of this story.

Draft 4 - Treatment

Sharing

The fourth idea for my final treatment is called "Sharing"

"Sharing" is about a wealthy boy (aged 12) who meets a poor boy (aged 11), who both encounter a strong friendship despite the different background they are both from. Their friendship is expressed through the enjoyment of their company and sharing of items such as clothes,food and toys which they both love. The only conflict separating their friendship is the wealthy boys's parents who do not agree with the mixing of an inferior and "lesser" family.

This idea inspired me through watching a similar film called "The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas" which is based in Germany set in World War 2 about a forbidden friendship between a wealthy German boy and a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence. But through the risky communications of  both boys starling and unexpected consequences follow.

Draft 3 - Treatment

The Charity


My third draft for my final story idea is called "Charity"

This idea is about a man who is suspicious that the money he is actually sending to charities that help his cause are in fact a scam. Through this paranoia of the man. he decides to investigate this situation.

This idea inspired me through the hearing of charity appeals and moving stories of innocent children being sick and homeless.

Draft 2 - Treatment

The Journey

My second draft for my treatment is called "The Journey"

This story idea is about an ordinary man who goes on what it seems a journey to search for a familiar  person to give him a special item which could result to something precious and valuable between the two characters.

Draft 1 - Treatment

The dream

As a group we had 4 possible ideas that we wanted to be our final treatment and story for our film.

Our first idea was called "THE DREAM" which is about a young child's mother who constantly tells her one and only son to recycle. But because he is so arrogant and selfish he decides not to obey his mother and to keep on littering. Through his consequences one night he has a dream about all the potential risks of littering and not recycling, which makes him see sense and finally does the right thing.

The idea inspired me from local news stories such as Newsround and how severe environmental issues were in this country e.g. recycling, global warming, Animal habitation.
