Synopsis
Protagonist is a man, mid 20's and Caucasian. When he was younger (around 11 or 12), his mother committed adultery on his father, so depressed after the revelation his father kills himself. Now older and still not entirely recovered, he sets out for revenge. His targets are young women (similar to his mother), women he knows are married or in a relationship. He talks to them and offers his phone number/card, if the women take his card, he has his new victim.


Style
Psychological thriller, serious. Non-linear narrative with flashbacks.


Rationale
The research that we did showed that 'thriller' movies are in the top three successful genres on IMDB. Therefore we felt that this would be the more effective in targeting our audiences.


Feasibility
Special effects done on the software mean no specialists will need to be involved. The setting is going to be kept in a local urban area, keeping production costs low.


Budget
Due to limited funds, we may use sponsors and fundraisers in order to be able to successfully create our movie.


Deadline
Friday 17th December

We created our treatment on iMovie for ease as well as showing we are using different types of new media to present our research and planning. I was not available when this video was taken but contributed equally with the rest of the group on the writing of the treatment.
