Final Treatment

2nd Treatment
o Genre- Comedy, Horror because we wanted to use all the convections of a horror film and bring humour to show that some funny things in life are just messed up!

o Length- 3-5mins max!

o Characters- Brad (main character): fortunate Bully/Jock, who bullies everyone, everything was going his way until he attracts a very unfriendly ghost who after years has been tormenting him and now has finally broken Brad down spiritually and is now possessing Brad.

o Ghost, this ghost is very mischievous spirit bent on ruining people’s life, attracted to Brad because he is a bully, and treats others badly.

Storyline

o A montage in the beginning with a narration of Brad’s life of being a bully, getting all the girls he likes and then attracting a ghost which haunts him. This would last two minutes max because they will be quick clips.

o The short film would then start when Brad wakes up and he has been possessed we would show this by editing the colour of his eyes.

o The body of the film would be Brad’s life interrupted by the spirit in a Jekyll and Hyde style of manner.

· Brad’s sleep is interrupted by music, which he then angrily and possessed destroys the source of the music with a baseball bat, which attracts the attention of his mum.

· While on his way to college Brad realises that the outfit he is wearing is not what he picked out.

· Next, in class, everyone notices Brad has lost his swag! The teacher fails him and people throw paper at him as he is possessed again and does crazy shenanigans. After being angered he leaves the class.

· Brad is talking with the girl he likes but then he switches and completely messes up his chances.

· Mama asks brad to hoover. The hoover attacks brad, attracting his mother’s attention. He curses her out. This is when he decides it’s time to leave

· As he gets kicked out of his home, the ghost leaves a message on Brads mirror

· The ending would be that Brad is kicked out of college and his home and ends up in a mental home. And with this because the ghost has successfully done his job of messing up Brad’s life he moves onto his next victim.

Logistics and Feasibility

o In terms of equipment we would be using the normal standard equipment like a HD Video Camera with tripod


o Other equipment we would use in terms of for the actors, contact lenses (for the possession) maybe blood and fake teeth but it all depends.


o Our locations for this short film would be Brads’ house, his college, the street and woods
Where would this be screened/distributed?

o As a group we all decided that YouTube would be the best place for this to be distributed. YouTube is widely known by everyone so it would be seen by quite a lot of people
