Treatment

The 'Hallmonitor' is an American style teen film in which the social 'outcast' becomes the 'Cool' kid that everyone wants to be, along the way he will change his appearance, change his views and will get the girl that everyone wants to have....





The film will open with an aerial shot of the 'Hallmonitor's' (HM) bedroom, with him lying in bed. The room will be clean with toy action figures everywhere in 'mint' condition and scientific equipment, such as a microscope and stethascope. There will be the diegetic sounnds coming from the room and outside. We hear the alarm ringing and watch as the Hall Monitor leaves his bed and walks off screen.

We then cut to an over the shoulder shot of Melvin in the bathroom mirror as he brushes his teeth, a voice is overheard, melvin narrating his life, while Melvin is talking we have cuts to different aspects of his life that he refers to, Although whatever the narrator says the opposite is shown in the film!!

Next the title scene commences and the names of the 'creators and actors' show in the film appear! The title is simple just saying the words 'Hall Monitor' with the LL's being replaced by Inhaler's to try and emphasize the iconic view of a 'Geek'!



The next shot is a long shot of a class room with the HM sitting at the front of the room on his own, the rest of the room is empty. Next a group of 'cool' kids enters the room and walk to the back, the camera then cuts to an over the shoulder shot of one of the kids and we hear then make fun of the HM as they procedde to chuck paper at the HM, we hear the HM 'thank' the kids not realising they are being mean.
Next we cut to a scene of the HM in the hallway doing his duties, using a homemade speedgun, the people walking by look on with confised faces on, we then see one of the kids running past and we her the HM shout 'Slow down laddy your going too fast!'
We done this to help show how 'strange' the HM is and help build the 'outcast' aspect of the HM.
The next shot is one of the HM in the hallway trying to talk to some 'hot' girls, after approaching the girls and asking them thw they are, we see the HM thrown across the hallway by one of the girls.
The next scene is a shot of the dinner time routine with the HM watching eveyone as they walk past, ignoring him. Oblivious to the HM one of the hot girls is looking at him. The hot girl turns to her 'friend' and asks her what she thinks of the HM, she laughs.
In the next scene the 'hot' girls tells her friend that she thinks the HM is hot. Unaware to the 'hot' girl, her friend likes the 'hot' girls boyfriend and so goes to inform her of what she has said. The Boyfriend confronts the 'hot' girl and says he is 'going to get' the HM.
It then cuts to the HM doing his duties when the 'boyfriend' enters and starts to give him a hard time. He tells the the HM that they will have a fight the next day, the 'hot' girl then tewlls the Hm what she really thinks and gives him a kiss and leaves.
We then cut to the HM back in his toilet mirror giving himself a 'pep talk' and it the cuts to a 'rocky' style montage witht HM doing a work out to try and get 'nigger'
It then cuts to the next day with a shot of a clock on the wall and as the bell hits 3.00 we hear the bell ring to symbolize the end of school and we then see the HM curled up in the bathroom toilets at school. We then follow the HM with a point of view shot as he tries to get away from the school without being noticed.
It then cuts to an over the shoulder the shot of the 'boyfriend' noticing the Hm as a group of his friends run over to get him. A 'two shot' would then be used to film the fight, at the end of the fight we notice one of the boys lying face down in the ground, we notice that it isnt the HM and the camera then pans round to find him in the arms of the 'hot' girl and it fades out as he kisses her.
