Production Treatment- Resume

Title
Infatuation complex

Genre
We have chosen Physiological Thriller as the genre for our film. We did research into existing films and found that we liked and preferred the aspects of this type of film. Our enjoyment in this genre of films encouraged our choice.

Target Audience
Our research into this chosen genre has allowed us to find the target audience for this particular genre. Therefore we have decided on young males aged 15-24 as our target audience. It may also appeal to some females who like this genre of film.

Costumes
The costumes that will be used will be similar to costumes worn in an real interrogation scene. Lucy and Alcione will both wear formal clothes, such as a white shirt and black pants, and if possible with a suit style jacket. We believe this fits best with the stereotypical investigator uniforms. For Lewis' character, we decided he would wear a plain white vest, with a slight dirty look and worn out jeans. This will give him the appearance of being a rugged and scruffy character.

Props
The props used in our film opening will be kept at a minimum. We have decided that Lucy’s and Alcione's characters will both have a pen and paper to give the effect of a real interview scene. On the table will be a small box, which we will be using as a voice recorder to record the interview between the three characters.
A table lamp will be used as the only source of light. We want to keep the room quite dimly lit to create suspense.


Locations
Our first location will be the music recording studio in our college. We chose this because the big space gives us an opportunity to transform it into an interview room, once all of the recording equipment is moved out of the way.
The other main location that we will be using is Duke Place and Duke Street in Castlefield. This is where the murder scene will take place.

Interrogation scene
The opening of the scene will be Lucy walking down the corridor and towards the door. During this scene, there will be a variety of camera shots, movements and angles. Different parts of her body will shown, all except her face. The camera will focus on her feet walking towards the door and then a shot from behind her. We want this to create suspense and anticipation without seeing her face until she is in the room. When Lucy reaches the door, she will open it and walk in. When she is in, the camera will be used as a security camera inside the room in a top corner. A green filter will be placed over the lens of the camera. A time and date will be placed in the left bottom corner whilst editing to achieve the full security camera effect. Lucy's character is going to be very angry because the victim was her sister. Her sister has been reported missing and she believes that the suspect knows where she is, though Lucy does not know that her sister is dead. As Lucy sits at the interview table her face is revealed to the camera. Shot reverse shot will be used showing Lucie at a low angle shot, suggesting that she has more status than any other characters. Lewis will be shown at a high angle.

Murder scene
This part of the film opening will take place in Castlefield between Duke Place and Duke Street. We are going to be using a series of shots as flashback scenes. Lewis will be doing a voice over narration during the flashback scenes, explaining what is going on. We are going to cut between the Castlefield scene and the interrogation scene at key points for effect. The victim is going to be walking down a path in Castlefield, oblivious to the fact that the murderer is following her. We will cut to the murderers point of view, following the victim down the path, watching her as she walks. The camera will be hand held at this point to create the effect of a point of view show from suspect. The camera will cut to the victim again showing the suspect running after her.
To create a good shot of the victim being attacked, the camera will be hand held and sharp, quick movements will be used. After the attack, the victim is then thrown into a ditch. Here we will cut back to the interrogation scene and we will see the suspect’s arrogant smirking face.
