The Treatment

As a group we have decided to do horror as our genre. Our film starts off with girls rehearsing a play in the theatre in 1959 and one girl mysteriously gets killed. The film then reverts back to the present and shows girls rehearsing a play nowadays and then another girl gets mysteriously killed by the so called “Ghost”.

NB: The film begins with the name of the production companies and distributors etc fading up onto a black screen.

Our film starts off by fading into a typical day at school with female students rehearsing for their school play. We then see the date fade across the bottom of the screen. As they come to the end of rehearsing the scene, the drama teacher watching asks for the girls to stop and to prepare to start rehearsing the next scene of the play. One of the girls starts to talk about a ghost that once haunted the school for many years. This starts to creep out the new girl of the school and she starts to get a little worried. The other girls walk off stage to prepare for the next scene she stays on stage and the worried girl stays on stage to do a solo piece. We then hear a creak above the stage and we zoom onto the girls face as she looks up in apprehension of what she’s just heard above her. The screen then blacks out and we hear a squishing sound of the girl being killed by a mysterious object followed by a violent scream by the other girls… the title of the film scrolls up the black screen, then drips back down turning red like a blood effect.

The next scene starts with the camera focused on the theatre lights and then pans down onto some girls rehearsing for a play. We then see “50 years later” fade across the screen and then a teacher enters the theatre. The teacher watches the rehearsal by the the girls and applauds them on a good rehearsal.
