film treatment

a post it note with a the time 5:00 underlined, a voice talks you'll be there right another one answers of course, a boy takes the post it note off the wall looks at it and then glances up to a clock 12:00 and smiles

he grabs  back pack and dumps out its contents looks disappointed at all the papers that fall out, He picks one up looks glances over at the clock 12:01 clears a space on his desk and sets to work.

The pile of unfinished papers are still huge and it shows the boys face stressed out with a small neat stack of finished papers next to him. It shows the clock 12:30

Shot of the clock 2:30, flashes to the pile of unfinished papers has shrunk in size then flashes to the pile of finished has grown and the boy is looking more relaxed

The Clock reads 4:45, the pile of unfinished papers is gone and the pile of finished papers is neatly stacked up the young man finishes the last paper and puts it on top of the stack, He looks at the clock and a look of relief comes across his face

The boy gets up about to leave when his computer makes a noise, he walks over to it and a look of surprised excitement flashes across his face on the computer screen is an IM from the girl he likes asking if he wants to hang out now he sits down and starts to rite a reply, but then looks at the post it note and hears the "voice you'll be there right?"

He gets up and starts to walk out but then looks back at the computer and sits back down

It then shows a door, it suddenly swings open and the young man runs out

On the computer screen the IM is left unanswered

A park bench with another young man on it he looks at his watch then looks around and looks dejected he gets up then starts to walk away

The boy then runs from the side of the shot and catches up with his friend, his friend says " I thought you weren’t coming”, the young man then says “I wouldn’t let you do this alone”

They walk away

presentation review

https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0AR-JSez2XU46ZGNtdG0yY2tfMGd3Y2RmbWR3&hl=en_US



1.     Our interpretation of the film was for the most part good as we talked about the movement of a lot little actions that changed the course of the movie. We used a little film language, with the name of camera lens but not as much as we should have.

2.     One of the strengths of our presentation was the way our slides were set up, we showed what happened in each of Lola’s three lives instead of breaking it down into 3 separate slides, another strength we had was talking about the intro to the movie.

3.     Areas we could improve on would be talking about the movement of the camera not just the movement of the actors, also using more film language.
