Improved Treatment.

The set up for our film opening is set in a park. We decided to use the wooded area of the park for the film because it would create a tense atmosphere and it would invite the emotion of being scared into the audience because they know that the woods is a quite, isolated and threatening place to be, especially in the dark when out film is going to be filmed. Also, the horror genre portrays the woods as scary because some films contain scenes which are filmed in the woods, and that usually ends up with a death. For example, The Blair Witch Project. It is set in the woods because our film is based on a camping trip and we thought that the woods would be an ideal place for the film to commence. This would automatically stop the audience from suspecting what might happen.
In our film, the protagonist is Chelsea, who portrays herself as the popular beautiful girl who has a mean streak and a history for breaking boys hearts. Her character changes throughout the film and realises life is not just about her. Towards the end of the film, she portrays herself as the hero/heroine because she tries to solve the murders and goes out of her way to try and find out who his identity is. She also realises that its not just her and her friends at stake, its the whole community.
In our film, the adversary is Scott, who portrays himself as a geek that is lonely with barely any friends. He is known to have a crush on the popular beautiful girl (Chelsea), but when he finally plucks up the courage to asks her out, she rejects him to send him into a rage, which then completely changes his character from the innocent geek to a totally new character from what he has been portraying from the start. The audience will then see a side of him nobody thought that they would see. The theory of our film from this will be based on friendship, but will also see elements of identity and also a twist of love and humiliation.
The 3 act structure for our film are as follows:

• The Set Up (Equilibrium) - This is the start of the story when the setting is shown and the characters are introduced to the audience. The equilibrium of our film is when the characters are at school and have planned a camping trip. Then Scott asks out Chelsea, but she rejects him, which sends him into a rage. Then they go camping later on then it gets into the disequilibrium.
• The Setback (Disequilibrium) - This is the part of the story when the characters have a problem to solve. The disequilibrium of our film is when I get killed after the killer mistakes my identity for Chelsea's. This is because I dressed like her to mimic her. Then Chelsea finds me and gets caught by everybody else and it looks like she had killed me. But she sets out to try to find out who is the real killer.
• The resoultion (New state of equilibrium) - This is the ending of the story when the problem gets solbed and everything is back to normal again. The new state of equilibrium of our film is when Chelsea finds out the identity of the killer and kills him to save her remaining friends and the community.

Our film also has a good use of character types. The character types of our film are as follows:
The Hero is Chelsea because she goes out of her way to find out the identity of the killer so that she not only saves herself, but everybody else in the community.
The Villain is Scott because he gets rejected the the popular beautiful girl (Chelsea) which seems to be the final straw that sends him into a rage and that makes him kill everybody around him. He sees it as his way of revenge for being rejected.
The Sidekick is Siobhan because she is Chelsea's best mate and helps her on her adventure to find out the identity of the killer and also is there when the hero needs someone around for her.
Our story also uses one important binary opposititon.
The binary opposition that we use is good vs bad. This is because Chelsea is the good character and Scott is the bad character.

• The set up- In our film its the setting which is the park/woods. We have chosen this setting as in connotes the typical horror genre of a dark scary woods at night, and it has moving shadows and creates a eerie setting without much help from us. the equilibrium in this sert up
• The set back which is when a character is killed due to mistaken identity.
• The resolution which is the ending, e.g. solving the murders,running away from the killer screaming and shouting and trying to save your own life and others by fighting off the killer and winning.

The Character types for our film are the hero which is Chelsea, because she tries to stop the killer and save everybody, the villain is Scott because when he gets rejected by the popular girl, its the final straw for him so he decides he wants revenge which is what our film is really about. The hero helper (sidekick) in our film is myself because in the film i follow the hero on her adventure to stop the killer and I'm there to support the hero but also the back her up when things go wrong.
