2nd Treatment
o
Genre- Comedy, Horror because we wanted to use
all the convections of a horror film and bring humour to show that some funny
things in life are just messed up!
o
Length- 3-5mins max!
o
Characters- Brad (main character): fortunate
Bully/Jock, who bullies everyone, everything was going his way until he
attracts a very unfriendly ghost who
after years has been tormenting him and now has finally broken Brad down
spiritually and is now possessing Brad.
o
Ghost, this ghost is very mischievous spirit
bent on ruining people’s life, attracted to Brad because he is a bully, and
treats others badly.
Storyline
o
A montage in the beginning with a narration of Brad’s
life of being a bully, getting all the girls he likes and then attracting a ghost
which haunts him. This would last two minutes max because they will be quick
clips.
o
The short film would then start when Brad wakes
up and he has been possessed we would show this by editing the colour of his
eyes.
o
The body of the film would be Brad’s life
interrupted by the spirit in a Jekyll and Hyde style of manner.
·
Brad’s sleep is interrupted by music, which he
then angrily and possessed destroys the source of the music with a baseball
bat, which attracts the attention of his mum.
·
While on his way to college Brad realises that
the outfit he is wearing is not what he picked out.
·
Next, in class, everyone notices Brad has lost
his swag! The teacher fails him and people throw paper at him as he is
possessed again and does crazy shenanigans. After being angered he leaves the
class.
·
Brad is talking with the girl he likes but then
he switches and completely messes up his chances.
·
Mama asks brad to hoover. The hoover attacks
brad, attracting his mother’s attention. He curses her out. This is when he
decides it’s time to leave
·
As he gets kicked out of his home, the ghost
leaves a message on Brads mirror
·
The ending would be that Brad is kicked out of
college and his home and ends up in a mental home. And with this because the
ghost has successfully done his job of messing up Brad’s life he moves onto his
next victim.
