TREATMENT
Corruption Phase by James Hartshorn, Joe Taylor, Kenneth Abrina and Andrew Quinn
THE BRIEF
Produce a music video or film trailer in the style of Warp.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Corruption Phase will have the target audience from 18 years old to 45 years old because of the plot focused around dark themes like murder and kidnapping. Not for a specific ethnicity, a working class audience that can afford to go to the cinema.
SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF
Corruption Phase would be a feature length movie about a guy who has his girlfriend kidnapped by masked thugs. This relates to the brief as this will take inspiration from Warp films like Dead Man's Shoes when it comes to the tone. Also it will take place in Sheffield with locations that create verisimilitude.

KEY MILESTONES
1. Planning - Beginning on the 27th October, we need to have the narrative of the movie, the song permission, storyboards of the movie, location scouting and permission to film in them, and our risk assessment by the 10th November
2. Filming - Beginning on the 10th November, we need to have filmed the footage for Corruption Phase meaning we have done the lighting, directed how actors will perform lines and worked all the camera angles to appear by the 12th December.
3. Editing - Beginning on the 19th December, we need to have cut out the parts we do not need, applied music and sound effects to our trailer, adding in any effects and transitions we may need, and added the titles we will need by the 30th March.
EQUIPMENT
For the trailer for Corruption Phase we will require a camcorder to record the movie, a tripod to keep the camera still and allow for smooth camera movements, a recorder for the people under masks and possibly lights for some indoor scenes to look more visible in case they're not.
PROPS AND MODELS
For the character of Daniel, he will be played by Shiwan Kurdish, the character of Claire will be played by either Hayley Badger, the characters of Red and Blue will be played by Joe Taylor and James Hartshorn, and the policeman will be played by Andrew Quinn.
For props we will need a gun prop, a blank CD with a skull on it, 2 computers/laptops as the characters.

HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.
For each location that we film in as part of this production we will complete a recce form and a risk assessment form. We will need to make sure equipment does not overheat because of how much we use them meaning they will have to be turned off every time we're not recording, since overheating not only damages the equipment but also it can harm the people handling them. Also carrying them in bags and handling them with care to avoid other means of damage to them is important as well. For the safety of the people whilst filming we need to make sure we film in safe locations (with permission to film there as well) and make sure they never have to do anything in the trailer that may cause harm.
LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Out of the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification’s) guidelines, we will need to adhere that there may be strong language in the product that is acceptable, even very strong depending on the manner of how it’s used, and the frequency, which is suitable for the concept of our trailer as it is about rebellious teenager characters. There is a hint of a very serious terrorist threat in the trailer (which is a misunderstanding) and a strong threat that is not sadistic or sexual is acceptable. Violence in our trailer will not be present but at most violence would be very mild as it is a comedy (making strong violence out of place) and that is acceptable to the BBFC for a 15 rated movie.
The importance of following the BBFC is to avoid showing material that is not suitable for people who are below specific age group. Within the Corruption Phase Trailer there is explicit language, as well as moderate violence.
When creating the trailer for Corruption Phase we need to ensure that we do not focus on pain when introducing violence into the trailer. We also need to ensure that the language does not include anything which could be deemed offensive.
The production of Corruption Phase adheres to the rules of the BBFC because we have not shown any content which is too graphic and could offend anyone. We have made sure that the language which appears in our trailer is not too strong because it is a comedy trailer and we wouldn't want to limit the age limit of the trailer because it isn't necessary to use the language, and it would limit the demographic of our film trailer.

The watershed is the time when more adult content such as swearing, graphic violence and slight sexual content is okay to put on TV (This time is 9PM onwards) and since this trailer features swear words, this would need to be after 9PM, because this is intended as a 15 rated product.
We will gain permission for copyright music by emailing the companies that own the publishing for the required music. They should be fine with allowing us to use the music if they know that is for a non profit project. If this fails then there is always royalty free music that is available online an example of these websites include Incompetech.com
In lieu of the Data Protection 1998 Law, we will ask for permission for every form of footage we have. We will ask people for consent concerning the fact that we are going to feature them in our production. We will use consent forms as evidence to them agreeing that we are allowed to feature the actors and the locations we use. The consent forms will be done before any form of filming.
DISTRIBUTION
The trailer for Corruption Phase will be found on the internet such as sites like YouTube and DailyMotion, it would be in the cinemas as a trailer before a 15 rated movie (usually comedies), it would be on Television post-watershed on channels such as Channel 4/E4/Film 4, Sky/Sky Movies, ITV etc; it could be before Warp films DVD/Blu Rays to get the film even more known. The film itself would be released in cinemas such as Vue and Odeon as the cinema is one of the biggest areas of success for a movie, it will be on DVD and Blu-Ray as they are still successful ways of distributing a movie since not everyone has the internet or uses an online service, streaming services such as Netflix and LoveFilm as digital streaming is a growing way of watching movies and since they're prepaid services, people aren't going to lose much watching allowing people to be more willing to try the movie out, it will be available as a digital paid download on services such as iTunes, Xbox Live and Amazon as they provide more options for people to watch a movie alongside easy access to the movie on a range of devices, the movie will be on TV channels such as Film 4/E4 and Sky Movies as they, like Netflix, are prepaid allowing people to easily watch the movie without having to pay any more money and bring the movie to the TV watching audience without internet access, and the movie will be available On Demand on services such as Virgin Media and Sky On demand to further get the TV watching audience without Internet access.
