BlWhen recalling our original treatment with our teacher we came across some difficulties that we may have encountered, therefore we decided to change the structure slightly, still keeping a similar theme but focusing on a different aspect of our initial treatment.
We therefore re-thought through our trailer and came up with a more cinematic construction of our ideas.

New Treatment:
On a spontaneous night out three friends (all girls) drive up to the woods to drink and mess around without worrying about getting in trouble. They are laughing around and having fun, however when they want to go home they soon find that the car won’t start.
They start panicking and go in search for a gas station, they soon come across a house and begin to knock at the door, after a while they push the door and discover that no one is in it, it seems abandoned as the house is dusty and all the furniture is covered by white sheets.
As they begin to explore around the house they realise that no phones or light switches work, they search every room and see that everything is either covered or empty where things have been taken and not replaced. As one girl goes to open on of the last doors she see’s that it is locked, whilst trying to open the door she see’s that someone or something is in the room. When the door finally opens she finds out that it is a little girls room which looks like it has not been touched, almost as if it has been preserved.

When the door finally opens she finds out that it is a little girls room which looks like it has not been touched, almost as if it has been preserved.
As the girl walks around the room she calls to here friends, she peers at the bed and see’s a teddy sat at the head of the bed, she picks it up and with that a flash of white light fills the screen as the girl has a vision of a little girl playing with her toys and then someone putting their hand on her shoulder and dragging her away. This then cuts to a picture of a grave stone and her parents standing over it. The vision ends and with this she drops the teddy. Following this is a series of strange paranormal activity and spooky events.
