Scene Treatment

Scene Treatment: Pre- production

My logo will first appear on the screen with the sound of thunder and rain in the background which will then reveal my first scene. It's raining which resembles the mood of the film. My first shot of my film is going to be a moving shot of a car with a girl in it, looking very emotional and frustrated. Then a close up of the same girl but this time inside of the car, I'm going to edit this part in slow motion to add to the mundanity. The title of the movie 'Bad Habits' is going to be on screen is going to be during the clip whilst the song 'Fools in Love' by Inara George is played. 


She is recollecting past memories which cause her to have the flashback of her childhood where she was getting picked on by these older girls. I'm going to be using my main characters younger sister to re-enact this part, this will be filmed in a toilet which gives an urban feel to it. This experience then leads on to the first time she had alcohol. I'm going to film this at a house location where she's at a house party with a bunch of her friends who obtained a bottle of vodka. She is brave enough to try it- a lot of it. This event inevitably results in her life spiralling downwards and turning to alcoholism, hanging out with the wrong people and harder drugs.Her life turned into constant partying and relieving her sorrows through drinking and taking drugs (clips of partying scenes are shown). The song Stay High (hippie sabotage remix) by Tove Lo during all this. All of the partying scenes will be filmed in a drama room where I can add flashing and gobo lights to the performance. 

The last flashback she has was the one that had the most impact on her life, her drink got spiked during one of her partying sessions and she gets dragged out at first quite calmly but then it gets more aggressive and sexual. I'll be creating this tension by the audience not anticipating the ending at first, they might just think that it's some sort of 'fling' but then it switches the mood as soon as the there is a close up of the drink being spiked. The audience can only presume that she had been raped.
