The Woods

This is the woods that we are going to use for our dream sequence in the 2 minute part of the film where the chase takes place during the evening in which Jake and Zach are killed by Conrad.

 We have changed the storyboard because it will match our storyline better and characters don't mix and  don't confuse the audience when we will record it

A Dream Comes True

Russian Roulette Productions

Ext. – Forest, late evening

The sound of fast breathing of Tom to indicate that he is running. Tom, Zach and Jake try to run away from a psychotic masked killer (Conrad) through woods in the dark forest as Conrad tries to kill them as revenge on Tom.

 TOM

(shouts)

-          Jake! (Tom’s turning around as he is scared of Conrad)

 JAKE

 (screaming)

-          Aaaarrggghh! No, please! Help!!

Tom doesn’t recognise the voice of Jake (he is not sure if it’s Jake or Zach) and is really scared. Tom is turning his head to the left and then back to the right, while Conrad is trying to kill Jake that is running away and by an unfortunate accident he stumbles on a piece of wood and the psychotic masked killer (Conrad) is able to get to him and he can finally kill him with his big knife.

JAKE

(screaming)

-          No!! Aaaahhh!!

Zach doesn’t know what happened to both of his friends; he gets his phone out and tries to call Tom, but before Tom answers his phone Conrad gets to Zach and kills him by a series of stabs. Zach drops his phone and when Tom finally answers his phone it's too late, Conrad picks up Zach’s phone and says:

TOM
- Zach? Is that you?
-Is anybody there?


CONRAD

(talking through Zach’s phone)
- Zach is unavailable now

-          and we will finally meet together again

Conrad hangs up the phone and goes to get Tom. When Tom turns back to run away he can see the psychotic killer appearing just at the front of him and then he wakes up.

Int. – Tom’s bedroom, morning

Tom wakes up hearing his two friends (Zach and Tom) shouting him outside the window wanting to go to the park. Tom realises that it was just a dream as there is voice over of his voice to represent that we hear his thoughts.

Voice over – Oh my God, that’s the worst nightmare I ever had.

JAKE

-          Tom! Come down here

 ZACH

-          Yeah! We are going to park!

TOM

-          Give me 5 minutes please! I’ll be right there!

JAKE

-          Hurry up then, we’re going to meet others!

Tom puts his clothes on and goes to get some snacks to eat and leaves the house to meet Zach and Jake that are waiting for him to go to the park.

Distribution of our film.

First of all we've got our college budget but I suggest that it's not going to be enough so for full film we can ask FDA (Film Distributors' Association) to have a look at our film and to distribute it.

More information about distribution we found on http://www.launchingfilms.tv/pdf/fda_guide_2012.pdf

Treatment 2 - 2 minute film

James Brammer, Alex Grigoryev, Tomasz Kubanski, Hadyn Bolt

Title

A Dream Comes True

Length

 2 minutes

Target Audience

This film will be a 15 because the BBFC guidelines fit into what our film is going to show, as we do not show any sadistic or sexualised violence. Also, we do not show any discrimination, illegal drugs or nudity. However there is death shown in the 2 minutes of film, as the psycho kills 2 teenagers and violence is shown, making the film unsuitable to be rated a 12 or PG, therefore making our film suitable to be a 15 certificate.

we have made our target audience to be 15 – 30 year olds (Mixed gender) aimed at a national audience, of interest to people who are looking for a scare, appeals to those who like films such as Friday 13^th and Nightmare on Elm Street.

Synopsis/summary

Do you really want all your dreams to come true? A psychotic masked killer (Conrad) is seen in a chase sequence (Tom's dream) through a dark forest, as Conrad pursues 3 college teenagers (Tom, Zach and Jake) in a lucid state of paranoid bloodlust. Conrad catches up with Zach and Jake and murders them, using his rage to drive his knife into the teenagers and kill them in cold blood. He slits Zach's throat and Stabs Jake through his chest, piercing his heart.

As the dream ends, someone is heard screaming as the title of the film appears. As Tom awakes, he is disturbed by his dream of the slaughtering of his friends and is plagued by his thoughts, as he plays the dream over in his mind, wondering what it meant. As Tom is worrying about his nightmare, his two friends are outside shouting him, as they want to go to the park and hang out. So Tom puts on a brave face, gets ready and leaves the house to join them outside.

Suggested Elements

Our film will start with being edited , so that the dream sequence looks kind of surreal with blurred edges of the shots, hinting to the audience that there is something unreal about the scene. As Tom wakes up, we will put in an audio track of a voice over of Tom, so that it's like we are hearing Tom's thoughts.

Near the end of the film in the real chase through the forest, we will edit in flash backs of Tom's dream, as he remembers the event from the beginning of the film. the shots will be edited in quick cuts reverting from the dream to Tom and back to the dream in a series of cross-cuts.
