HW 48 - Treatment for Savior/Teacher Movie

Please write a 3-20 paragraph treatment for your section's film involving a savior/teacher.

What is a treatment for a film? A treatment is a simple telling of the story of a film in present tense - with each scene presented clearly but without dialogue or camera angles (which will be added later in a script version of the treatment).

For instance the treatment for Avatar might include;

INTERIOR - 8pm
Jake Sully, a former Marine who lost the use of his legs while helping the US suppress a revolution in South America, speaks to two white-coated scientists. They put him in a MRI type machine that scans him on a molecular level. They tell him he is a perfect match for his dead twin brother and offer him the opportunity to replace his brother on a trip to another planet. Jake is somewhat overwhelmed by his feelings of grief for his brother and the abruptness of the voyage to another world, but feels he has little to lose. His decision is emphatic when the scientists inform him that his salary will suffice to buy treatments necessary to end his paraplegia.

Feel free to combine your ideas with others - from their blogs or class discussion. I'm excited to read the stories you want to tell about school, using the genre of the savior/teacher as a framework to share your insights and messages.
