The Treatment

A girl is getting ready for a date, while simulataneously her boyfriend is walking down the street on the way to her house. Towards the end of the sequence we find that everything is not as innocent as it seems. There will be an underlying theme of obsession, which we will see hints of in the girls room. It will have a classic narative pattern with cross cutting between the girl and her boyfriend. There will be non diegetic sound in the form of a music track playing over part of the sequence, although this will not be all the way through, and will be broken up with diegetic sound including a shower, dialogue and footsteps. It is set in a house and along a street, and is quite dark and spooky. A key colour will be red and it will have low lighting. The overall look is quite dark and eerie but also elegant. This will be reflected in what the characters will be wearing, a smart dress and a suit. The female character is elegant and organised to the point of being obsessive and a control freak. The male character is quite nervous and eager to impress. There will be mostly still shots although there will be some pans and tracking shots. The sequence will show that he's feeling rushed but this will show through the acting and music rather than through the camera work. It will be a mostly continuous sequence of the girl but there will be some cross cutting to her boyfriend.
