Our film is titled 'The Hall Moniter' and is about an ordinary boy who is the hall moniter at an ordinary school. But then everything changes...
The film begins with a birds eye view shot of him in bed with a star wars duvet. There will be star wars figures. In the background there is a diegetic sound of an alarm clock. Then we move to a shot where we are circling the hall moniters head. While this is taking place there is non diagetic narration. The narrator is talking about the hall moniters life but at the same time there is footage. this footage is of the opposite to what the narrator says. For example if in the narration it says that the hall moniter is popular the footage will of him being picked on or something like that.
Then the titles commence. They are simply the word HALL MONITER in the middle of the screen with non diegetic music in the background.
The next scene starts with a long shot of a classroom where the hall moniter is sat right at the front of the class. A projectile can be seen thrown from the back of the class clearly aimed at the hall moniter but misses terribly. This then sparks a reaction of pure panic from the H.M. He needs a reassuring hand from the teacher as he starts breathing unhealthily fast. The teacher then lets him out early to go and get ready for his H.M duties.
For the next shot you can see the h.m doing his h.m duties in the hallway with a homemade cardboard speedgun. Also while doing this, people are walking past him giving him funny looks as he tells them to slow down.
Then once break has ended we move to an over the shoulder shot of three boys on three different computers. Two of the boys are still doing work but the h.m has done his early and is now playing on his favourite game...space invaders!!.
Then we skip to dinner time where there is a midshot of the h.m and his friend talking and one of the popular girls in the school is eying up h.m but he is oblivious to her gaze. His friend tells him she is looking at him and the h.m responds by telling her she is going to fast even though she is stationary.
The popular girl then tells her friend, in the next scene, that she likes the h.m. But the popular girls best friend secretly likes the jock who the popular girls goes out with. So she tells the jock what his girlfriend has said. Each conversation will appear on its own as not to confuse the audience. After that the jock confronts the h.m who denies any wrong doing.
The next scene begins with mini cuts of him talking to the popular girl but on different days and day by day he is looking cooler in his clothes and hairstyle. All these shots are just midshots.
After that we cut to a p.e lesson where h.m is playing dodgeball. That particular piece ends with a long shot of h.m picking up the ball.
The next part is him about to throw the ball. In the background is a nondiegetic sound of someone saying 'use the force' in a deep voice. Then he throws it and from a midshot we see the ball go no more than a yard. He picks the ball up for a second time. Again a nondiegetic vioce say 'use the force properly this time'. There is then a close up of the h.m face as he throws the ball. Also there is another close up, this time of the ball as it flies towards its intended target, the jock. As it hits him the whole class falls silent. Half the screen is a close up of the jock, the other half is the face of the h.m. There is a midshot as a fight consumes the group.
Then the next scene we see a slow zoom in of the camera to a boy on the floor it is the jock who has obviously lost the fight with the h.m, who has ditched his flag and gone off with the popular girl, the jocks now ex girlfriend. As the camera fades out we see the jock smile, open his eyes and grab the dirty h.m sash from the floor. That is my treatment for 'The Hall Moniter'
