TREATMENTFor the final section of the development stage, we were required to present our final concept on sugar

paper which had to include all the relevant information about our horror film. This includes

features such as the synopsis, working title, locations, props and character profiles to give the

audience a basic idea of what the film is about and what it will include. We also included our film influences which will play a huge role in the development of our film and theories such a

todorov our treatment generally covers burton's theory. We used these theories to cover the

beginning, middle and end of the film as well as the difference between each of the characters. I was in charge of making our treatment look as

creative as possible whilst the rest of us worked on different ways to apply the theories to our film and

develop the character profiles and narrative. we also included our production team logo so that we

are recognized by our target audience.

•MOVIE TITLE:

• the title of our film is Possession which has been made pretty clear as it is the central piece of text on the page.  our choice of font for the film title is quite basic as we chose to give the title a modern look to it which our target audience might actually prefer. to make it more appealingly and personal

 Our Characters are:Caitlyn – Supernatural being/antagonistKaty - ProtagonistAdam – protagonist’s father

We put the film influence at the top left hand side of the poster as we thought that they were extremely important and played a huge part in the development of our concept. We presented 3 images of the movies that inspired us which are:

     1. gallows    2. insidious 3. the awakening

this covers the beginning, middle and end of our film with a brief description. in todorov's theory, the beginning is known as the 'equilibrium' which is described as the initial situation. the middle section is called the 'disequilibrium' which is when the balance of the initial situation is disrupted by a problem/unusual event and the end of the film is the 'resolution' which is when the problem is then solved, allowing the reinstatement of the initial situation (the equilibrium).

TODOROV'S THEORY

                                                                                    

synopsiswe stuck with the structure and main story line of my own narrative but also included aspects of the initial synopsis narrative a bit more intriguing as it would include more frightening events; making the audience feel uneasy.

 Baseline is that there was a girl who had died in that house that they are moving in to. No one knows how but they know her name was Caitlyn - (was 17) just around the same age of the new girl moving in, Katy, who happens to also be 17. Caitlyn is trying to take over the girl’s body and possess it as her own. She is trying to take Katy’s soul / life and make it her own.

This section included our main locations where we plan on filming our horror trailer. it included areas such a run down house which is our

location for part of the equilibrium where the hauntings is most likely to be where the disequilibrium takes place. we also stated that our target audience is young adults from the age of 15+ so we know exactly what to include in our trailer to intrigue them and who we

could be going to for answers when it comes to the audience research.

• on our treatment, we stated that our theme was survival as our  protagonists seeks survival as they try to escape from the possession. also, the sub-genre for our horror film is ‘psychological’ so for our final products, we would need to incorporate as many pop-ups as possible and include scary,creepy and frightening scenes as we are capable of creating. this way, we would be able to appeal to our target audience more.

evidently, we carried out several experiments, trying to make our logo look as eye catching as possible. after the first two drafts, we had established the main idea for our logo which is the circular element with scratches in it to emphasize our production team name but we thought that they looked a bit boring and not eye-catching enough so we did more drafts. for the third draft, we changed the font completely and made the background slightly darker but then the red font was quite difficult to see so we changed it to white. however, after a few weeks, we got some feedback on our logo and we were told that the scratches within the font was a bit too much as there were already scratches in the background so we changed the font again. we think our final logo would appeal to our target audience as it is very simply and is easily recognizable.
