Group Treatment: Roles and Jobs

Job roles within the group were as follows:

Joshua Payne - Script Writer/Producer
Chris Kenworthy (myself) - Director/Cameraman/Actor
Emily Swager - Art Director
Chloe Atkins - Editor

Because our coursework project was a group activity, and since we had been designated our job roles within the group, we each contributed to the treatment for the project according to what we were doing in our different roles. A number of different tasks were to be completed, especially the ECMS of the film (Editing, Cinematography, Mise-En-Scene, Sound), and they were designated to each member of the group according to decisions made. The blog posts on this page, as completed by each group member, are as follows:

Editing and Titles - Chloe Atkins
Cinematography - myself (Chris Kenworthy)
Mise-En-Scene - Emily Swager
Sound - Chloe Atkins
Audience and Influences - Josh Payne
Questionnaire and Results Analysis - Chloe Atkins.

After several production meetings in which we discussed and adapted our own ideas, we finalised on an idea for the script. Josh then went away with this group idea and and formatted it into our final script idea. He had completed a rough outline for the script, which he would finalise later on after a group discussion before production took place. This is a rough outline of both the synopsis and the script, which Josh has published on his blog (Josh-Script):

"The story consists of a man who discovers a large sum of money contained within a package in the middle of a forest. The package belonged to a dead man. When he brings the package home with him it is revealed in a series of flashbacks that it was placed there as a trap and that an unknown assailant has now caught up with him. The two meet in a violent confrontation with the audience not clear about who has won thus creating an enigma."
