Planning: Writing A Treatment

The film will start with a black background,

then our production company name RJB Productions will appear in a eerie font


This then fades out slowly onto a picture of an old school photo in black and white with faces circled. Then some non-diegetic music comes in. The tone of the music is eerie.


Then close-up a pen is writing on a piece of paper.


A shot of him getting tools out of a shed and metal hitting metal,


Then as he gets the tools the eerie music stops and it goes silent.


Then before the next shot the music picks up the pace,


then a close-up of billy getting the tools together.


Establishing shot of a plan that he has on the wall.


Out of focus shot to a close up of a section of the plan,


then with eerie music being played for effect


A shot of him carrying the tools putting then down on the bench/side.


And the shot will then pan back down to the original plan.


A close up of the tools that he’s got together.


A over the shoulder shot of him sitting down at a desk with a computer,


A over the shoulder of him on the computer.


A close up of him cutting out faces on photos, cutting out text too.


Non-diegetic sound of a phone ringing in the background as well as the eerie music.


Opening titles appear at regular intervals throughout the opening and act as a kind of punctuation between events that are shown. The titles are white on a black background and are not overlaid over the top of the film.
