LO1: Treatment

Films working title: Time Travel Kills

Narrative subject: Inter dimensional Time Travel/Satire

The required equipment:
1x 4K Camera
1x Editing PC
1x Slider
2x Tripods

Synopsis: A bored office worker is visited by a Salesman who gives him a pill which will take him back in time. The office worker takes the pill and wakes up in a hellish world wear he is tied up and about to be murdered. Before he dies however he suddenly wakes up back in his office, and realises he has travelled back in time. The camera then pans back to reveal that he is in just one of the many possible realities which was similar to his previous one. All except the hellish world which shows the office worker get murdered.

Genre: The genre will be satire, this was decided due to the low budget, which meant that I will not be able to employ professional actors, meaning I will have to make do with mediocre ones. However when working in the genre of Satire, a bad actor can add to the comedy of the project.

Characters:

An Office Worker:

Appearance:
-Young
-Smartly dressed
-Normal Weight
-Medium Height
-Short hair

Personality:
-Reckless
-Clever, however foolish in his choices
-Workaholic
-Low Self Esteem
-Social Anxiety

Purpose in the narrative:

The Office Worker is the protagonist in the narrative, however he is one the audience is likely pity, since he is no hero in the narrative at play. The characters purpose is to entertain the audience, due to his stupid choices.

A Salesman:

Appearance:
-Young
-Smartly Dressed
-Normal Weight
-Medium Height
-Long Hair
-Mad Facial Expression

Personality:
-Relentless
-Slightly Mad
-Inconsiderate

Purpose in the narrative:

The Salesman is the antagonist in the narrative, since he ends up sending the Salesman to his doom. The reason he is evil, is because he is fully aware of the devestating effects the time travel pill can have on users, however he doesn't make people aware of this, until it is too late.

Unidentified Murderer:

-Tall
-Scary

Personality:
-Sadistical Murderer

The random murderer who kills the Office Worker in the dark reality he enters.

Filming Locations:

The majority of the film is based in an office, so I have decided to use a local church, which I have been given permission to use by a relative. This will easily be converted into an office during production. The location of this church is below:

6 Hopefield Ave, Sheffield S12 4XB
