Research & Planning: The Treatment

Since receiving feedback from my teacher and classmates, Lucy and I have had a meeting and discussed what plot we think will work best and have chosen 'Curse of the scarecrow' the first plot. This is a summary of how we want our teaser trailer to run:

• MPAA warning : approximately lasting 3 seconds.
• Cut to a production title, off-screen diagetic of teens messing with the camera. 
• Static: approximately 2 seconds.
• Cuts to hand held camera -showing the character's feet whilst running. 
• Flash to a subtitle with newspaper article: Class mates missing! (sepia effect)
• Cuts to black 
• Subtitle Myth of the scarecrow: "dating back to the late 1960's" and a photo of the scarecrow.
• Black screen..(beep sound effect- camera dead)
• Rewind footage back- speed it up.
• Equilibrium: the teenagers sat around the campfire talking about the myth using a static establishing shot from POV scarecrow: On screen diagetic music from the campfire and sound of laughing.
• Cuts to a black subtitle of a film review and quote.
• Montage of shots, building tension: various close ups, jump cuts and hand held camera for chases etc.
• Quickly flashes to the scarecrow.
• Then a trough is show with static camera, where it shows the empty camfire where its vandalised and people are missing.
• Cuts to black screen with "coming soon/date" (re write that sooner to the time) 
• Hand held camera of the teens running, then drop the camera.
• Fades to someone picking it up.
• Cuts to title of the film.
