My first treatment sheet for my g321 media 2 minute film project

1. Treatment
Concept: A group of scientists are held captive by a terrorist
organization. It begins by concentrating on one scientist creating a
lethal poison that is going to be used for a terrorist attack. The
scientist then accidently spills the poison on him, his skin rots away
and the audience is left with his skeleton on the floor. The other
scientist comes in and finds the body, before panicking, collecting the
data and poison. It then goes on to show the scientist on the run from
the terrorist group. The FBI is called to retrieve the terrorist group,
the scientist and the chemical weapons. The tagline is; ‘Sometimes
things aren’t always what they seem’.
Camera and editing: We are going to use FinalCut for editing, garage
band for the music and sound effects, and also we are going to use a
range of camera angles and shots. (E.G: close up on poisons, medium
shot to show the scientist carrying the poisons, establishing shot to
introduce the scene, high angle shot to show the urgency and alarms
going off-make scientists look small and vulnerable)
Lighting: The lighting we will use will be firstly be dark, then the
lights will flicker on. Then once the experiment is done and spilled, a
red light should appear to show emergency and danger. The room
will be dark during this. To give a sinister feel.
