Filmmaking- Developed Treatment and Crews

After pitching our treatments and ideas the first time, a certain few of the best ideas were told to develop them and come back next week with more information and more problems solved for production. The best ones will then be green lit to start producing for the Kodak Commercial Awards. I went away and thought more about my treatment and about how possible it is and isn't to accomplish. It's on a very large scale and needs a lot of work to accomplish it, I started by rewriting the treatment and focusing on some more details. The revised treatment can be found below:

Go Outdoors Treatment

‘Go Together, Go Outdoors’

7-11 year old boy finds a new bike in his garage with a bow on it.  The boy instantly takes the bike out on to the street and begins riding it. He notices a girl his age riding a bike all by herself as well, and decides to go join her. The two are seeing having fun and getting on.

Cut to the two kids walking up a hill of some kind (Roseberry Topping, example) they are seen helping each other make it up. Once they make it to the top, they share their first kiss.  Next cut to the kids grown up a bit, they are now teenagers camping with friends in a forest, all-hanging around a bonfire having a laugh. Now in there 20’s, the couple are climbing a rock of some kind and once the woman makes it to the top before the man, she finds a box with an engagement ring it and he proposes.

Now a married couple, the two are seeing hiking through a forest, when the camera reveals two small kids behind them, showing the couple now has children of their own. Cut to the mother and her daughter horse riding and then the father and his son fishing out on a lake.

After the treatment I began looking into locations where each scene could be filmed, and looked closely at props and clothes which would be needed for the actors and the scene. I got in contact with Go Outdoors at Stockton and I'm awaiting and E-Mail with a response. All these documents can be found on the VLE. 

After pitching all this research and writing, the project was given the green light and a production crew to help make it possible.
