Treatment for Movie Trailer Production

TREATMENT FOR MOVIE TRAILER PRODUCTION This is my final decision on what I would like to do on my trailer and did some more planning on the name of my production company and also the beginning, middle and end of my narraive so that I would be able to acheive what I would like to do and be able to show to my audience when the trailer is complete. Along with planning my target audience and the locations/costumes of my charcters this will mean that when I come to making my actual media product I will be able to film knowing what I would like to aim for.
Production Company Name: ‘Balanced Productions’			Production Team Members: Erin Booker-Smallwood & Sophie Canning
Title of Production: From Bethlehem to Bedlam			Genre: Psychological Thriller
Synopsis: A girl called Roxanne in a relationship with Tate, they are engaged and in a happy and stable relationship. However he discovers that she has a variation of different relationship's and looks but she tends to leave the house when this happens so he doesn't discover the fact that she has MPD until the very end. Roxanne is the dominating personality but there are two other completely different personalities. Roxanne doesn't know that she has MPD but the other two do, one of the other personalities kills Tate and in anger Roxanne finds the other men that she has been seeing and kills them, until guilt and loneliness set in and she commits suicide.
Detailed Narrative Outline: Beginning – Everyone is happy and getting on with their everyday lives, the partners of the main female character. Tate and Roxanne are planning their wedding and getting ready to marry but he is beginning to learn that things aren't always the way they seem as Roxanne starts to change moods and become almost a different person which Tate finds weird and confusing but ignores it due to his happiness in the relationship even though Roxanne isn't as happy as she seems to be about the relationship.   Middle – We as the audience learn that there are many other relationships going on with the same person who in our film is Roxanne. The story becomes a world full of strange events as Roxanne ends up changing personalities and getting herself into different relationships where she is a whole different person with different clothes, personality and most of all partners. Roxanne is able to change the personalities that she wants to have until she starts to become scared of herself and nervous when she is able to change who she wants to be. End – Roxanne controls all of the personalities and becomes angry at the life she has been given and ends up becoming crazy and attacking all the people that she thought she loved. Tate and Evan are murdered and Rose survives as Ava realises she is in love.
Intended Target Audience: Teenagers as they enjoy seeing films like ours with their friends. It will be a mix of male and female audience members as both genders will be able to link with the characters. There social class will be Middle Class (due to their parent’s occupations) as they are lucky not to experience these themselves and find it interesting as they are able to learn things about MPD.	Key Characters: Roxanne – A normal everyday girl enjoys music and reading. Doesn't stand out in the crowd. Vivienne – Is a stereotypical ‘Goth’ listens to heavy rock music and is in a violent relationship and has many bad habits such as smoking. Ava – Lesbian is the happiest personality and is very girly. She is also very outgoing. Tate – Average everyday boy, met at college and is in a relationship with Roxanne. Evan – Boyfriend of Vivienne has a dark personality and has anger issues. Tattoos and piercings. Rose – Ava’s girlfriend has a good sense of humour and is very friendly. She knows about Ava’s other personalities.
Mise en scene: Music – The music that we are using is Fall Out Boy Centuries due to it having a very creepy female voice and when the song is slowed down the lyrics and the tune go very well for a psychological thriller. Lighting – there will be a mixture of low key and high key lighting due to the vast change of scenery and location that the filming will be done in. along with using natural lighting in the correct locations (outside) to show that the characters are just like normal people. Costume – the costumes are individual to the characters, Roxanne & Tate wear stereotypical ‘normal’ clothes. Vivienne & Evan are ‘goth’ and Ava & Rose are girly girls (eg. Pink and stereotypical ‘American’ girls)		Locations: Examples of locations that we could use for our filming of the trailer.   Park Erin’s House Sophie’s House Road/Street Restaurant Hospital Mental Hospital School
