Treatment

Treatment

We have chosen a working title which we think will suit for the film. The title is ‘Red Ink.’ However we did have other names that we thought could work, therefore there may be a change of the working title during the production and post production of the trailer.

We have also decided on a production team name. The production team name is ‘SLAM Productions.’ ‘SLAM’ acronyms the first letter of our names. When we came up with the name, we all liked it and chose to stick with it.

The format of our teaser trailer will be on film as well as a video. We have decided to do two formats because we would like to make our trailer available on video-streaming websites, such as YouTube.

Our teaser trailer was originally of the slasher genre, but we later found that the story of drawings coming to life is more of a supernatural genre, and so we decided to combine these two sub genres to create a hybrid.

The length of our teaser trailer should be a maximum of roughly 40 seconds. This is a convention that we are following.

The film is about a boy who has a hobby of drawing and this always takes place in a dark room under a spot light. The pictures that he draws seems to come alive and into action. That is what the story is basically about but within our trailer, the boy is going to be sitting in his desk drawing a picture. There will be pictures on the walls that have been previously drawn. He is then drawing a picture, which comes to life. The room becomes empty and a girl walks into the scene. She walks to the table and she picks up the drawing that was left on the table. The drawing is of the girl herself, getting attacked. This comes to life where someone appears from behind her, grabbing her, about to attack her then the scene cuts.

So far, we noticed that people between the ages of 17-24 like slasher horror films and can be proven through our audience research. Therefore we have chosen our target audience to be for the ages of 17-24. We will be finalising this for definite after evaluating on our results of our audience research and receiving more information on why this would be our target audience.
