treatment for our project

Our film is titled "The hall monitor" and is based on an ordinary boy, who is entitled the hall monitor at a basic school.



The first scene we see is an arial shot of our main character in bed, here we can see that the character is laying in bed, but on the bed is a corny star wars quilt. This is to show what the main character is like, for example in this case he is nerdy. Also with this camera shot you can see the bedroom that belongs to the main character and here we can see that he has loads of figurines computer parts everywhere and geeky star wars wallpaper.



The next scene focuses on the main character whilst he is stood up, here we get the camera panning around the head of the character, this is whilst we have voiceover in the background this is done so it builds the character up to be amazing and powerful, when realistically he is nerdy and geeky and nobody really likes him, whilst the voice over is happening.




We cut from the panning shot from around his head, to going to little short videos. this is used because when the voice over describes something about the nerd, we will have a little video to show that what they say about him isnt exactly right and shows what actaully happens and shows the true personality of the character. This is to show the comedy factor of our production.


When the videos of him have finished, the opening titles of the film come in, but when they do there is a non diegetic sound of the stars wars theme, and the titles are copying the movement of star wars to show the likeness of the main character and what he likes. There will also be non diegetic sound of ? over the titles.




The next scene is in a classroom surroundings, this is where we get to see a long shot of a bully sat at the front of the room and here you can see a lot of tables within the room and at the end of the room, we get to see the hall monitor sat at the end of the room to show that he is bit of a social outcast as no one will sit next to him.



When everything is looking to be ok, the hall monitor starts breathing deeply and and camera zooms into the face of the main character and you can see the fear in the face of the hall monitor, teacher starts panicing, and runs out the room and comes back with gas and air to try and help out the hall monitor.



The next scene we get to see that after the hall monitor calms down, he is then allowed to go out early so that he can put on his sash and with a mid shot can see that he is ready to patrol the halls with his sash, his broken offences book and his very useful speed gun to make sure nobody runs through the halls.



The next scene would be an over the shoulder shot you can see the everyone in the classroom is doing the work, but the hall monitor is sat on the computer playing space invaiders, this shows that where most of the class are doing his work and taking school quite seriuosly where as the hal.l monitor thinks he is to good for school and so he plays the games.



The scene following would be where the hall monitor meets a girl in the hallway, but the girl he meets is a jock's girlfriend but he doesnt know this, he makes up a story about how she is running to fast through the halls when really she is going at normal speed he does this just so he can talk to the girl. here it is obivouos that he likes the girl.



The next scene there loads of cut scenes firstly showing the girls telling her friend that she fancies the hall monitor, and from that the girl tells these lads and then the lads tell her boyfriend what has happened. This shows the audience of what order things happen and this shows them what happens because of the conversation that started this. This also has engima codes on what is going to happen ? this builds up the story line and gives the idea that they are going to meet.

The next scene is full of cut scenes showing the this particular girl talking to the hall monitor and loads of occassions everytime that the girl talks to the hall monitor, the hall monitor slowly becomes more cooler and more people start to respect him and to take him seriuosly and listen to what he has to say.

The next scene cuts to the hall monitors class participating in p.e, here is a long shot of the hall monitor throwing the ball, but as he does you get the idea that really he is weak and cant do it. as the game goes on people start to see that maybe he isnt as cool as people made him out to be, but then there is close up shot of hall monitor and he hears a voice say to him "use the force" and with that he throws the ball with everyone else watching him, and as he seems to do it something happens and the ball swerves and hits the jock in the head and he starts laughing and the crowd cheers.

The next scene shows jock starting a fight with the hall monitor and the hall monitor looks at the girl he likes before he does anything and then they start fighting, after a few minutes of fighting the hall monitor beats the jock and the jock falls over in pain and rolling in mud. the hall monitor is then greeted by his new girlfriend and they start to celebrate and walk slowly to the sunset but as they do the jock leans up and picks up the sash and shakes him hand at him.
