Treatment

The treatment - the lonely time traveller
In my short ten-minute film a lonely time traveller wants to find his true love but something terrible gets in the way, I have written the beginning, middle and end up and included a little bit about the characters im going I’m to use in this short film.

Characters;
Leo - Handsome, time traveller and very lonely.
President - bossy.
Amy - The girl he ends up meeting, pretty and lonely too.

Act 1;
Leo is very lonely and wants to meet a nice woman and settle down and have a family. His goal is to go forward in time to see if he has a family, wife or any friends.

Act 2;
Leo goes forward in time but the world has gone, he's just floating around the universe so he has to go back in time slowly to find out when the world ends and why it happens, this stops him from seeing if he has a family. He has to do what he can to save the world. He goes back in time and finds out that the world ended because the president set a bomb off in Russia but it expanded and took out the countries near Russia as well as Russia and it started another world war until no one was left on the earth and nothing was left.

Act 3;
At first the president doesn't believe him but he shows the president that he can go forward in time so he finally convinces the president not to set the bomb off and he doesn't, the world is fine and the time traveller finally meets his soon to be wife and they settle down and have a little boy.

The intended audience would be 12+ as I think 12 and above is good because people younger than 12 would not understand the concept of the story and why Leo has to save the world. 

The setting in the beginning will be at 'leos flat' but to reduce costs i will use my flat or a friends, i will try to reduce every cost by using family and friends for the cast and have them use their own clothes as costumes.
I will also borrow filming equipment from the college and film some of it at the college.
I have set days and times for characters to be at the right time and place for shooting.
For editing i have a friend that can edit the film for me so that also reduces the cost of making this film.

There will be all kinds of shots in all settings including wide shots and extreme close ups.
