Treatment

1 - Core Themes:
Our core theme is to ‘Cease the day’, make the most out of the time he has left. Our idea was ‘My Sisters Keeper’ meets ‘The Bucket List’. The binary oppositions within our teaser trailer are going to be; happy/sad, health/illness. The Logline of our teaser trailer is going to be ‘Family is stronger then anything else

2 – Core Characters
The core characters of our teaser trailer are as follows:

The protagonist – The two siblings would be the protagonist as they have never had their parents to be there for them in the way that other children have, so that they begin to express their emotion with anger and form a strong bond between one and other.

The adversary – This is going to be the adoption. This would be the fact that the two siblings are left to be there for each other and have trouble fitting in with being adopted by the foster parents that they may have to put up with, by being tear aways.

3 – The Three Acts

Act 1 - The set up – Film can start off with the children with the foster parents or alone, either way it wants to show happiness because we can then put a twist on it.

Act 2 – The set back – This would be the fact the children do not wish to have foster parents and will try to do anything to be different to become the tear aways they are.

Act 3 – The Resolution – The resolution would be that they will be together all the time causing problems how ever they could be together still with no problems, and have had a change of heart and agree to keep each other safe, and always be there for one another.

4 – Additional Characters
The additional characters within our film are as follows:

Protagonist – The young boy
Villain – Adoption
Heroin – The prize/reward of family that they have
Father – Foster parents trying to do best for the two siblings, and making them feel comfortable
Helper – Both siblings wish to help each other equally
Mentor – Both siblings will be trying to keep them both positive that theres always something better out there for them.

5 – The Setting
We are going to be having various settings for our teaser trailer due to the fact that he is going to be that they will be wanting to try and have a normal life alone and do not wish to be fostered. Some of the settings are going to include, house, school and maybe out side, these are the settings that we feel should be included, as they do not have alot the places will be set out to be common. 

Update

Due to problems with the media piece in the current moment of time of trying to gain a feel of realism because of our aim being so hard we were going to do a short media trailer that would of had to give of a sense of emotion to the audience and viewers of the trailer, it would have to be upsetting to the viewers and cause anxiety for them to want to watch the film if there was ever a full production.

But  because of this being to hard we eventually became to realize that we would have to change it some how this would make things move much faster, we have realized that trying to include something like cancer in our trailer would of been impossible so we began to develop another story which would include the same kind of lines, but this time with two tear aways that are in adoption, this we will be able to do much more easily then the previous objective.

We will see how this pans out and it should eventually work out well, as this isn't as hard to do this time around and with the skills we have gained we will finish it much more quicker then we would of.
