Short Film Treatment

Working Title (this may change later):

Genres incorporated:

My genre for my opening sequence was a Crime Thriller. For my short film I would
like to focus on a different genre. I currently have the idea to create a social drama
about a girl with schizophrenia. However, I first need to conduct a questionnaire to
see if this idea will be understandable and work.

Primary Target Audience (age, gender, socio-economics, psychographics):

Log Line (a snappy description of your story in 2-3 sentences. Like a blurb):

My initial idea for my short film is following the life of a girl named Eve who has
schizophrenia. I plan to have one of her biggest fears 'a clown' following her around
constantly during day to day activities such as waking up, going to school or work,
going for a walk, (I'm not entirely sure what she will be doing, but I might spread
it out between a couple of days with her condition getting worse and worse) but no
one else can see this clown.

Profile of the main character (name, age, gender, any relevant back story that
influences their actions or attitudes in the present):

Locations:

I plan to have Eve's life spread out across a number of days to see how damaging
schizophrenia can be however, I need to conduct my questionnaire to see where the
best locations would be, whether that is school, home, work etc.

Props/ Costumes needed:

Costumes and props are important and I plan to have the clown dressed in 3 main
colours: white, red and black. Eve will be dressed in either: school clothes, work
clothes or leisure clothes depending on the location.
