LO1: Treatment
TREATMENT
We have been asked to make a short film, between five and twenty minutes long.
The idea is to base the documentary on a friend of Sam’s, Cal Sugden. Cal has been playing football for well over 10 years and had gone from playing in his local park to playing semi-pro and running a successful football YouTube channel. What we’d like to create is a story of Cal’s life and how he got to where he is today in his footballing career.
The target audience for this documentary would be males aged between 12 and 20 of all ethnicities who are interested in football. This is so that the younger boys can look and see what it takes to become a successful footballer and the older guys could learn from the documentary and use it as motivation to push them further in their sport. The documentary would appeal to the B, C1 and C2 audiences on the ABC1 scale. This is because Cal has a middle to low class background and the viewers of these sections would be able to relate to his story.
Things you need to do to make your production – give a rough estimate of the dates they will be completed by. For example
1. Planning – Treatment, Storyboards, Organise days to film. (9th September – 30th September).
2. Filming – (31stth September – 23rd October).
3. Editing – (24th October – 9th December).
4. Launch date – (Friday 9th December).
Camera – To film the documentary.
Microphone – So the audio will be a lot crisper and clear.
Camera Slider – So we are able to capture shots in a smooth and steady, visually pleasing motion.
Tripod – So the camera will remain steady when we are filming cut away shots.

Other friends.
Recce forms will be completed of all locations to give an idea of how safe the area is.
Risk assessment will be completed for the locations, which are more dangerous to film in, such as the underground tunnel and the woods. They are important because they outline what to be cautious of when filming.
Copyright is a legal means of protecting an author’s work. We will be needing the copyright permission to use Cal’s videos from his YouTube in the documentary. (https://www.techterms.com/definition/copyright).
MODEL RELEASE – WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AND INVOLVE? APART FROM A MODEL WHAT OTHER THINGS WOULD YOU NEED PERMISSION TO USE FOR YOUR PROJECT? HOW WILL YOU GAIN PERMISSION?
Some of the public spaces we are planning on filming in are Endcliffe Park, an underground tunnel in Millhouses and Goodwin Sports Pitches. We will have to be careful of other people when filming so we don’t show them in the documentary.
To get permission from the actors we will have to get them to sign release and consent forms. This is so we have permission to use their faces in the documentary.
If the weather is poor when we are planning to film some of the shots then we will reschedule.
If Cal becomes injured or unwell we will film certain scenes and shots first instead of others.
If we can’t get permission for certain locations we will find different locations.
