Treatment

Product
I aim to produce a sequence with the duration of 5 minutes approximately
in length. My production will be called Mistaken based around the genre
of action and adventure. The aim of my production is to be advertised
through social networking sites that people use on a daily basis such as:
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and also through television adverts.
It is essential that I successfully get my production noticed by people so it
gets more views and more advertisement, making it more popular.
Mistaken will be aimed at women around the ages of 15-45 due to the
violent content and gory scenes. Any person under the age of 15 could
potentially be negatively influenced by my short film which could lead to
my production being banned or reported.
Genre
The genre of my film will be an action and adventure film which explores
the way in which females are represented in action films. My short film will
analyse the way females act unstereotypical to the way women in reality
behave. During the planning stage of my production, I was aware that the
action genre will be a challenge due to being consistent with certain
things such as: shot scenes and stunts. The audience will be able to
identify the genre of the film due to its content. This should keep the
audience entertained and attached to the characters role and engage
them to the production more.
Target Audience
I am my production at people between the ages of 15-45 for both males
and females. This is because people younger than 15 may be influenced
negatively by the scenes and also for adults older than 45 as they may
find the film disturbing due to the gory and violent content. This could also
make adults feel uncomfortable if the rest of the surroundings in a cinema
were teenagers.
Context
I aim to ensure that my production will be successful due to my wise
choices of the mediums I hope to use. Using social networking sites is one
of the easiest and cheapest ways to publish my product across to my
target audience. The more advertisement my production receives, the
more aware the audience will be of its release in the cinemas. Feedback
from the viewers and my target audience can be accessed by the internet
easily. I would like to see the feedback of Mistaken to get a perspective

from different people within the age range I consider suitable for my
production and from people not within the range group.
Media Language
There will be no dialogue in my production, however, I aim to use the
characters facial expressions and movement as a way of communicating
the language and attitude the characters has to convey. This is essential
as the audience needs to be aware so they can understand the storyline.
Mise-en-scene
My production will consist of pictures that have been taken from different
angles to show more of the production in still images. The costumes will
portray the characters even more due to the specific style of the females
and the typical fashion that it was worn. The costumes also emphasise to
the audience the kind of character that should be articulated for the role.
Representation
The production will emphasise the representation of women and girls
showing them to be less of a stereotype than in reality. The 2 females I
wish to use will play a character that countertypes the views of typical
women behaviour. The main aim is to create a production that will
illustrate to the audience that women are capable to carry out the same
tasks as men despite being as physically strong. For the women viewers,
this is a positive representation as it allows males to recognise and accept
the fact that men are not anymore superior to females.
