Treatment for Idea 2

The genre of this film is a slasher horror in the grindhouse style. It is a short film with a duration of about five minutes. The target audience of my film is teenagers and adults who are interested in the horror genre. This film would not be appropriate for children as it would contain violence and gore.

This idea can be compared to the grindhouse style trailers that were shown before the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature films as they are in the same style and feature similar content.

The content of my film would involve a group of teenagers who are escaping from a crazy slasher killer. He kills them off one by one throughout the film. The storyline would be very stereotypical of the slasher genre with over the top gore and characters who do not use their common sense. It is set along country roads with woods surrounding it which makes the characters secluded.

As the characters in this film are teenagers I could use my friends as actors which would make it easier to find them. However I would need to find a male adult to play the killer.

This film would not be expensive to make as I am mostly using my friends as actors so I would not have to pay them and I am filming in the woods so I would not have to pay for the location. I would however need to pay for a costume to disguise the killer and also props such as the killer’s weapon.

For my production team I would need a director, producer, camera operator, editor and boom mic operator.

An issue I would have with this film is dealing with the public as I would be filming in a public place and would therefore have to ensure their safety and make them aware of the filming.
