AS Media Studies:Movie Treatments and Storyboarding
Learning Objectives• To investigate the purpose of a treatment • To create a treatment for short films• Research methods to storyboard• To develop storyboard ideas
What is a Treatment??A detailed pitch or summary of a story, format, or concept for the purposes of selling to entertainment industry executives. Length and content varies by genre, but will always include a Logline and Synopsis.
What to include??When outlining your treatment, list and describe the most important elements of your story:• The main conflict.• The person, place, or thing that is the subject of your story.• Each action sequence.• The main characters.• The climax, which is the confrontation between the hero and
the villain.• The resolution of the main conflict.• Define the main conflict by asking yourself why your hero and
villain fight with each other.
In one of East London's most volatile neighborhoods, pride, rivalry and revenge are the only codes on the street. Touted as a British Boyz in the Hood, Bullet Boy is a gripping and authentic drama that takes an unflinching look at two troubled, street-smart boys. Fresh out of jail, 18-year-old Ricky and his 12-year-old brother, Curtis, struggle to walk the straight and narrow when a minor street clash escalates into an all-out neighborhood war. For Ricky and Curtis, friendships, family and loyalty will be tested to the extreme in a world where guns are a fact of everyday life and boys try to be men before they're even teenagers.
You now have 30 minutes to write your film’s treatment.
You may also want to think about your
film’s title.
