The Treatment

Action: The "Family Omens" opening idea will consist be an interrogation that leads to a flashback of a chase scene in the woods of heaven, ending with a demon pushing the angel from heaven as was the act that created the first demons initially.

Themes: Whilst trying not to be too over dramatic, the basis of the opening story of our project is centered around the foundations of good and evil within biblical lore considering the narrative derives from the justification of the creation of the first demons, whether it was blown out of proportion or not skewed by the petty turn the break in to heaven will be seen as in our project.

Narrative: The narrative may require some set up through titles considering the detail of the history of angels and demons, but the actual point of the angel falling from heaven to be tortured by the demon. This being structured with the interrogation scene which would chronologically occur after the chase as the very first scene of the opening and will carry these events as a flashback in a way to produce a more immediately interesting film.

Characters: The central protagonist will be the angel, named Silas and will be the only angel in question the opening focuses on despite their being two demons chasing him in the woods to represent an unbalance in power. Secondly, however, their will be a main antagonist demon that is yet to be named - this being the demon the chase focuses on until the second takes over by its orders and the one that stands at the interrogation scene.

Setting and Location: The film will mainly be set in Heaven, albeit one that is being taken over, but the choice of location with this will be Newbottle woods considering forestry hold connations of purity which is shared with heaven and angels, but the interrogation part of the opening will be an abandoned building - unspecified on whether this is earth or hell proceeding the fall from heaven.

Mise en Scene: The mese en scene requires to be adequately detailed with a narrative so rich in representation and the colour schemes of black leather for demons which holds rebellious and rough connotations, similar to demons, and will be opposed in the angels with smart white and bright coloured clothing which connotes high class, intellect and power that angels will also be associated with to equate each icon of the characters. Location is of particular interest with heaven where the main chunk of the opening will transpire, a forest has been chosen to represent this because as I have already mentioned is an icon of purity as heaven is. Make up - particularly with the demons - will also be used to represent angels and demons by heavy eyeliner for demons that will represent the black eyes that demons are iconic for.

Camera work: When it comes to such a stereotypical opening as a chase scene through a woods it will be required to storyboard numerous shots put into a fast paced edit to keep the audience interested and the film fundamentally more individual. For instance, extreme close ups may be put as quick shots as they as well as in the dialogue scenes (e.g. in this case, eyes?) by way of not only making the overall scene more interesting to watch but also to really focus on the characters which is what the film will really be about

Editing: Editing will also play a large part of representation, lighting will have to be filtered in within post-production to identify the case scene woods as heaven as well as to signal the beginning and the end of the flash-back. In terms of the power balance between the angel and the demon (the angel having a smarter consume due to the stereotyping we are using for the collect and powerful representation being smeared with mud to show that this is being crumpled) will further be exploited by the giving of the power of high-speed running to the demons that will ultimately be what wins the fight between them; tutorials have been studied on this effect and an understanding has been gathered.
