Final Project- Short Film Treatment

Logline: A boy gets a referral from the dean, for fighting with his teacher and then begins to hate the admin of the school.

Treatment: It all starts out in a classroom of 10-15 students. The teacher begins talking about the upcoming election for president. The way the teacher begins to talk sounds like s/he is favor for Obama and the boy is in favor of McCain, and he really has very strong opinions about him. The boy gradually becomes angry and right when the teacher says something about Obama that offends him, he stands up and starts throwing a tantrum. The boy next to him who is in favor of Obama has a mean face at the boy throughout the rebuttle. His face looks like he's going to do something bad. He argues and says why McCain is the best candidate for president. Then they have a rebuttle; teacher sends the boy to the dean. The dean writes a referral to the boy and then begins to argue with the dean. Then the dean concludes that students arent supposed to fight with their teachers under the policy. As the dean and the boy talk, the pro Obama boy asks the teacher if he can go to the bathroom. The boy walks out of the deans office really upset; he punches the wall. Then the pro Obama boy goes to the boy who is upset and then he starts debating with him about why Obama is the best. The boy gets so angry; that he pushes him to the floor and kills him with a pen.

  1. I was a little bit confused at the end, but i think what u r trying to bring out is that the boy who support McCain killed the boy who support Obama. So this treatment is not very difficult to shoot, instead i think it is easy. I think cameron could be the boy who support McCain, cuz i know that u really love McCain hahahaha. However, i didn't really like the ending of the treatment, i feel kind of cheesy. And i don't think our treatment should involve with any politic views, that is my opinion.

  2. This film would actually be difficult to pull off. It would be hard to maintain being serious since we probably don't have the best actors that will argue realistically. But, you could probably make a spoof or a comedy out of it. That would be funny and easier to pull off. This would also keep the audience into the film more.

  3. The treatment idea was good however it was hard to follow, I think you should make the idea a little more clear and it will be funnier if it was a spoof instead of something that is serious.
