Treatment 2/3 - Behind close doors/ life swap feedback 24/09/12


After producing treatment 2 and 3 we then received more feedbacks from our colleagues. This will then further our instincts to understand what we need to change and also how would we be able to improve our fully discussed treatment into a final decision. From many attempts of treatments that me and my partner created ,we then wanted to receive a final decision that our colleagues believes what’s best for us.

 

Feedback of Treatment 2

 

Our colleague quoted that it was very ‘impressive’ from our previous treatment since its very simplistic to according to the shooting, where there is only 2 or 3 actors hired and only one location. However they mentioned that with my idea of using the drugs as a twist didn’t suit the idea of the whole story and also the words appearing, they did believe it is very creative but doesn’t match the idea of what we are trying to present. With the words appearing it wouldn’t make any sense since Sam doesn’t know or doesn’t have any affection with the words, so therefore it has to effect Sam noticing through his facial expression. It is also considered to be too big for a short film and can come across a lot of big issues e.g. shooting in the park can come across a risk of the weather ,corruption the equipment and camera ect.Overall our colleague mentioned that we should focus on the eating disorder twist idea instead of the drugs, because it creates an unexpected moment very controversial and something that doesn’t expand our short film very long.

 

From receiving the feedback I understand the concept of how a treatment is not about solving a problem but its solving the creativity of how a simple premise of a film should look, meaning that the cinematography is the key element of gaining high expectation of engaging the audience. Therefore I will try and attempt to produce a simple premise of a film in which can be used to present a marvellous creativity with an unexpected moment.

 

Feedback of treatment 3

 

The feedback that we received of this treatment considered to be the best out of the three. It is very simple to understand where a young girl has a drinking problem and starts to visualise a ghost. The location isn’t complex since it has to be done in a bedroom, however the cinematography of the film must be very effective even though it doesn’t require a lot of actors, scenes and props. The shooting of the film must be effective including the lighting, costumes and the editing .Overall it’s a more improved idea that me and karis came up with but we must focus on the main problems that may come across if we actually shoot the treatment of this story idea.

 

 

After producing multiples of treatment and gathering feedbacks, I and Karis then made our own decision to actually keep and to further proceed with treatment 3 because it is considered to be easy and interesting. With a young girl having to full pout to be drunk, any type of scenario case can happen and can be presented with such an improved cinematography. Therefore this will allow me to analyse how the cinematography will look and visualised as something creative and a more thriller look, that gathers a new idea from originality and it’s something new to expect a great experience of researching our clause of the treatment.
