1. Horror Movie Treatment
By Debby Adebiyi

2. The title of my movie is called “BEWARE” I think this is an appropriate and
simple title that fits well with the themes within the movie, the tag- line I
have chose is “trust no one” because the focus of my film is around friends
turning against one another when under threat. Having saying that the
subgenre of my film I would say is a thriller/psychological as the movie
focuses on a manipulator playing “games” and putting the girls under threat
for her own pleasure.

3. Target audience
After reading this, I came to the
conclusion my movie will be a 15
because its not a sexual film and any
sort of terrorizing is not actually shown
but the way the film is played out you
get the drift of terrorizing events that
occur..

4. Synopsis
5 16 year olds go camping on a summers day, one goes for a walk and never
returns (Amber), a year later her body is found, she's dead. As soon as she's
10 ft under the remaining girls Sasha, Erica, heather, Anna begin to get
anonymous text, but the texter seems to know everything that only amber
knew, so the texter forces them to do things they'd never thought they'd do
to their friends and family or their secrets will be exposed. Eventually the text
arranges a meeting spot for the girls which is a dollhouse and the texter
treats them like dolls, eventually Sasha's boyfriend investigating the story is in
the background getting closer to exposing the texter, who turns out to be no
other than Amber.

5. Protagonist
• Has to be the boyfriend (Terry)
• He did save the day so therefore
he’s the hero
Antagonist
• Has to be Amber
• As she faked her own death and
played the girls against each
other
Inferred meaning- is that no one can be trusted even
your best friend can have a dark side and also things
are never what they seem.

10. Symbolic codes
• Symbolic codes I will be using are-
•
• Eye opening – I feel like this is effective in horror movies as you can
almost sense the fear in a character through their eyes
•
• Secluded location – which will be the doll house this is effective as
the audience doesn’t no what to expect when they get there
•
• Someone is killed in the first 5 minutes - this will be amber and I
think this makes the movie start will tension which makes it more
intriguing

11. Theory Applied
• EQUILIBRIUM- Happy camping, best of friends, marshmallows and laughter
•
•
• DISEQUILIBRIUM- Missing girl, anonymous texter, girls being against each other
•
•
• RESOLUTION- Meet anonymous texter and revelation of the texter

12. Done.
