Production Treatment For Main Task


Z2 Group 6 2011 - Emma Smith, Katie-Ann McKeeney, Sean Warman, Nathan Leader.

Title:

Genre: The genre of our main task is a thriller.

Duration: Our main task will last around 2 - 3 minutes.

Audience: The intended audience for our main task is both males and females aged 15 – 25 with some appeal to older audiences.


Our main task begins with the main character walking through the woods; we then incorporated split second flash-forwards into these scenes and used various different effects, which limits the amount the audience is able to view which gives the film and mysterious feeling. These flashbacks will continue throughout the film until it shows the protagonist finally dead/unconscious in a dark tunnel. The location of the woods in comparison to the dark tunnel insinuates the opposites of death and life. The woods is in an environment which is linked with nature and living plants, whereas the dark tunnel gives the effect of an unnatural, and lonely atmosphere. Also during our film the camera work gives the audience the feeling that there is a second character in the film, although you never see them. However, it does insinuate that this second character is following the main protagonist throughout the duration of the film.

The suggested elements within our main task include the performance of a female walking through a woodland area with cuts (flash forwards) of the same female lay in a deserted tunnel. This shows the element of thriller within our main task as the audience will be unsure of what has happened to the main character.

There were no significant costume ideas within our main task, just that the main character was to wear a hooded jacket to add mystery as you can't see the characters face.

Again, there were no significant props within our main task besides a mobile phone for the duration of a few seconds; we used this prop to show the audience that the character wasn’t randomly attacked for her possessions as her phone was found next to her, and she has a call from an unknown number. This also raises suspicion as to why an unknown person would be phoning the main character and whether it has any significance to the attack. The key locations of our main task were Heaton Park and Platt Fields Park. We used Heaton Park because of its woodland scenery and its dark nature. We then used Platt Fields as a second location because of the dark tunnels and forest like areas it had, as those features were very significant in our main task idea.
