My Treatment - By Rachael Whittaker

Title – Unnoticed

Duration – 5 minutes

Audience – PG, appeal to the female teenage audience as it’s a chick flick.

The Storyline:

The film opens up with photos of the two main characters as children, the photos to be starting from young ages to getting older to the current age they are now. The scene after will start off in a cafeteria at a college. There are different clicks all around the room that are separated by the tables that they sit at, the camera angles start with cutting between the tables then focuses on one table, this table has one girl sitting on her own studying. The girl suddenly looks up and looks to a table in the middle of the cafeteria at a boy surrounded by his friends. There is then narration of what the girl is thinking, and explaining some of her story.

Later on it shows the girl going home after college, when she gets in the house is a scenario of the little brother on a game system in one room, and the mother cooking dinner in the kitchen. When the girl sits down at the table the mother asks questions such as ‘how was college’, etc. The scene flicks to what the boy is doing; he’s sat in McDonald’s having a laugh with his friends. The girl goes up to and gets ready for bed where as the boy is only just driving back home with music on full blast with everybody in the car singing.

The next day at college the two are in the same lesson and they get paired up by their teacher to do a project together, that has to be completed in 2 weeks. At the end of the lesson the lad rushes off with his friends while the girl leaves the classroom with a smile on her face. When she gets home she starts to write down ideas all night as to what they could do for their project.

When they have their next lesson the girl has lots of ideas but is too shy to say anything to the boy. She keeps thinking of ways she can come out with them but no words seem to be coming out when she opens her mouth, but at the end of the lesson the boy starts a conversation to the girl asking if she would like to go round to his one day after college to start work on their project, he gives he girl a time and place and then leaves. The girl then leaves to go home and starts to rummage through her wardrobe to see what she can wear that day, her red blouse? Skinny jeans? Converse?

The day comes and the girl is really nervous, he asks her to follow to his car. She feels all eyes looking at her, eyes stabbing into her back but she doesn’t care. They drive to his place in silence. They eventually get to the boy’s house, they then begin on their project and the girl is surprised on how the boy is actually quite intelligent himself and they start to get on well.

After the two weeks of the project together they start to get close friends and the girl’s personality starts to shine through and she is getting noticed more. Later on the boy asks the girl to go out with him and his friends going out. The boy meets the girl later on and that night at her house, the girl comes down the stairs looking stunning, like a completely different person. They both go out and meet the friends in a sort of lounge bar and all sit together. They’re all having a good time together giggling. The scene then ends with a zoom out of the group and the girl narrates the ending.
