Treatment

Crystal Bukenya

• Product: My product is called, The Break Of Faith. It will be approximately 5 minutes in length and will consist of 2 main characters.

• Genre: Drama-Thriller• Target audience: My target audience are from

ages 15-35. This is due to the nature of my film that includes themes that may be sensitive for younger ages.

• Media language: There will be no dialogue in my product, however, I aim to use the character’s gestures and facial expressions to communicate the language and attitudes the characters convey. This is important as the audience need to be aware in order to follow the storyline. Throughout the production I will include a voiceover of Faith’s character where we can gain an insight of her thoughts and emotions towards her relationship.

• Context: The context of my product focuses on the idea of expecting the unexpected, and how circumstances can suddenly change. I brought forward this idea through Faith’s character as she questions the audience about whether she would give up what she had with Luke if she had a chance, or whether she’d hold on to relive the good moments. There was a deception by Luke when she met him as she thought she knew who he was, but it may turn out that she was completely wrong.

• Representation: My antagonist will be represented in a negative light, through camera shots and mise-en-scene. There will be various scenes where he will be seen to be dependent on alcohol and where he is abusive towards the protagonist. This negative representation will create a theme and interest for my viewers. I hope they will feel intrigued by the final production as the character Faith will be represented as a victim and therefore my audience will emphasise with her, gaining a connection.
