LO1: Treatment (My Own)

TREATMENT – Hermione Archer

THE BRIEF

The brief is to produce an original documentary short film lasting between 5-15 minutes.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience for my short films would be both male and female, as the synopsis would be relatable to them. I think that the age of the audience would be around 20-40 because I think that the film would be aimed at a slighter older audience as they would appreciate the film. The social grade of the audience would be ABC1 about 90% because of the film would only be accessible on the Internet, this requires the audience to have access to the internet. The remaining 10% of the audience be of the social grade C2DE.

SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

My film would be around 10 minutes long and will monitor the journey of a £5 note. I would write on a £5 note my name, phone number and a brief explanation of what to do, then spend the money and hope that people get back to me. When I get responses I would ask for a photo, how they got it and where they got it. Eventually with enough information I would be able to track the £5 around the country. I would hope to include other information about £5 notes are they tend to not last very long.

CONTINGENCIES
My backup plan would be using the client 'Sheffield Flourish', to share awareness of certain ‘mental illness' such as Anxiety disorder and Panic attacks. The short film will consist of denoting a young teenagers everyday life through when she wakes up and exaggerate events that occur in her mind throughout her life. This film would also consist of facts and statistics about the illness to educate the audience more on the illness.

PROPS AND MODELS
The models/characters will be unknown, as I don’t know who will end up with the £5 note.

The main prop will be the £5 note.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.

I will only film the introduction, which would be me handing over the £5 note to a shop to pay for something. After, the next part of the films will be a collection of maps and photographs to build a timeline of the £5 notes journey.

LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.

I must seek permission off the people would sent me photos, make sure that I am okay to upload some information about them.

I also must get permission to film in a shop for my introduction.

I should also consider Ofcom regulations.

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution of the short film would be the Internet, preferably YouTube because I think that it would be very accessible also preferably for my target audience. It would also be available on a website specifically for short films.
