Here is my media treatment from my short film

1. B Y I S A D O R A S P R A T L I N G
My Short Film Treatment

2. Genre
 I have chosen to base my genre on a drama as I think
my audience could connect to the issues raised.
 Dramas often have a wide age range audience, as
they are common for all ages.
 This genre helps the characters become most
realistic with real life problems that people might
have.
 Dramas often include dance, music and comedy

3. Brief Plot
Beginning Middle End
This short film is about a girl
who is a talented and
passionate dancer. However,
she begins to see herself as
fatter than all the other girls
in her class, resulting in a
eating disorder.
We see her slowly
deteriorating and skipping
meals and looking more and
more unhappy. It gets so bad
that finally she collapses in
one of her dance classes.
This is a wake up call for her
and the rest of the family and
friends. She realises the only
time she is happy is when she is
dancing, it is her place where
she is lost in her own
happiness.

4. Audience Demographics
AGE- My short story is aimed at
mostly girls of the age of 15-20. I
think this is a good age range for
my short story as this is a relavent
problem for girls as they go
through their teenage years.
However, I also have taken into
consideration that parents might
want to watch this as to get an
idea and to educate themselves
for their children.
GENDER- I have chosen male
and females to be targeted
audience as I think that both
genders could be effected to the
issues raised.
INTEREST-
Teenagers who have
interest in dancing or
any sport.
WHERE THEY LIVE- My
film is focused on people
who live in different
backgrounds, as this issue
doesn't’t relate or effect
where people come from
or their living situations
My short film is to raise
awareness for young people

6. Who will direct my film?
Hildegard Ryan
Hildegard graduated from the Central
Film School with a distinction in
Practical Filmmaking. Her graduation
film “The 25th Annual, St Wallace on
Sea, Morris Dancing Festival” was
selected for the 2014 Cannes Film
Festival short film corner.
Hildegard developed and directed
O’Connor’s Overshadowed for the
stage. Overshadowed is a series on
BBC 2 about a girl suffering from
anorexia. This series has similar
issues and genre as mine and that is
why I want the director of
Overshadowed to be the director of my
short story.
