THE TOP LINE: The story is about police discrimination towards adolescents, who are placed into police custody. However one day the tables turn... The policeman hits a adolescent and he happens to be related to the two discriminated adolescents that are put in police custody. The next day the two adolescent people confront the policeman, they are now in control.
THE BIG QUESTION: What will happen to the policeman? Will justice prevail?
TREATMENT: set at local bakery, inside the assistant is serving cupcakes. set then outside, boys in a huddle, unwrap the cupcake and the policeman then comes in and sees them behaving 'mischievously'. The teenagers exchange glances and then see the policeman and run. policeman asks what they were doing hailing after them.
cut to teenagers being released and greeted by a friend who is wearing a hat. Cut to scene were policeman takes phone call from superior.
Cut to scene in which policeman is driving home from work and then boy gets hit. Policeman takes shoulder from boy with hat and rolls him over and displays face of boy.
This sounds more like TV drama, in my opinion, than a feature film.
ReplyDeleteYour research into how treatments are developed is good.
After a lot of further development, the treatment is much more confident now. You have situated the events firmly in more easily visualized and precise locations; the events now are linked and therefore the narrative flows. Once you have settled some crucial casting questions, you can develop the next (final?) scene. Currently, you are working on character interviews
