2. Treatment
Running time: 7min drama movie
• Equilibrium – a look through on protagonist’s life days are the same
• Disruption – Bullies get rough mentally and physically to protagonist he just
takes it
• Recognition – Protagonist doesn't’t like his life and whilst walking home he
helps a homeless person which makes him feel better
• Attempt to repair – protagonist helps homeless person by giving his lunch to
her whilst the bullying still carries on
• Equilibrium – Protagonist and homeless person become friends and help
each other on what they're struggling with and the bullies eventually stop
3. Treatment
• Original idea – used real life issues to convey how someone can get past
them & people are there like the homeless person. Not being stereotypical.
Style of film – very contrasting. Portraying protagonist and homeless with dark
harsh lighting with pov shots. Smooth Panning/tracking shots within
classroom.
• Topical nature – a lot of homeless people around people quick to judge
Help with a bullying and or homeless organization.
Other projects UK based – kidult hood etc.
4. Treatment
• Similar to movie Powder 1995 style wise
Purpose – relate to audience as not openly talked about – People are
there to help. As a film maker this allows me to produce
cinematography in my own way and abeles me to see what works for
my film and what doesn’t.
5. Character breakdown
• Purpose – relate to audience as not openly talked about – People are there
to help you friends/family etc
