PLANNING: TREATMENT

ALFIE BIRCH(15-18) a brown haired, plain looking boy who looks stressed, is talking to UNKOWN PERSON (Age unknown) in a shady street or room. UNKNOW PERSON, says the letters DNP.

ALFIE is walking home looking shifty. He walks through the door and throws down bag. He walks through to the kitchen and puts on kettle. He walks into a sitting room and sits down on a sofa. He opens a package left on the table with his name on it. He brings out the box with the pills in it and puts it on the table. The sound for the kettle can be heard in the background. He puts the pill in his hand and moves it to his mouth. ALFIES BIRCH takes the pill. His eyes dilate. He falls to the floor and doesn't move. The kettle is squealing.

This treatment was written by Bertie Simpson.

PLANNING: BUILDING DEPTH

In this lesson we talked about certain shots and aspects that we could consider to deepen and create a more interesting and possibly relatable character.

I had the idea of creating a slightly OCD boy who's timetable has a mysterious patch. The boy would come home and immediately follow his incredibly orderly and minute-to-minute precise. He labels everything, but there were five minutes left un-labelled before dinner with only a red asterisk (*). This will be the time where he takes five minutes to take the slimming medicine. We are also going to use a traditional kettles high pitched sound to represent the pupil dilating, the body panicking. Te parents discover the body when they realize their control-freak son is late for dinner, however we don't hear them screaming as that would be too stereotypical and fits in to horror slightly more than thriller.
