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.
