LO2 - Treatment

Working name: One By One

Genre/narrative: 
My idea for a short film revolves around YouTube. This short film fits within the horror/thriller genre. This is due to the basic idea of teenagers entering a haunted house.

It depicts five teenagers who decide to film themselves entering a creepy looking abandoned building. All the friendship bubbles and some split off from each other after an argument.  One by one the cameras cut out and they disappear after getting split up from the group. They all find the first one dead in a room (Insert type of death) This leaves others on their own as whatever's in the house taunts them.

The Ending of the short film will be of the last remaining person who drops his camera on the floor. This then records what everyone has previously seen and disappeared to. The camerawork will be handheld looking footage. Moreover it will predominately  medium close ups due to the camera being close to the vlogger.

Characters:

Three male teenagers, and two females. They are based around typical "hipsters" who are on YouTube. They are wearing generic clothing for typical teenagers.


Synopsis:
The short film will between 5-10 minutes in length. Thus fitting the brief in terms of length. It depicts stereo-typical teenagers who are wanting to post their video to YouTube. Using DSLR's to film which reflects the stereo-typical "vlogging" style. Additionally we can edit it to look as though it was a live stream.
