Treatment

Title: (Working title will be changed) Dude where's my hangover?!
An original screenplay from Jamie Payne, Ryan Kent, Alisha Ward and Kayleigh Morris
Company name: (as of yet undecided)
Date: 21st November 2011

We present a comedy film about Barry and Louis two teenagers with an imagination that far exceeds normality. A third friend attempts to play the voice of reason as the two friends discuss the insanity of the night previous, but really with friends like those two it's not hard to imagine that he's not really paid attention to.

As the story unfolds we discover that on their night out turned out to be far more than was expected by anyone. They encountered superheroes, dancing aliens, emotional turmoil, a bromance and even llama's? Throughout their discussion of last night several fights and arguments break out. 

The opening sequence of this film would involve the third more rational person entering the room in which both Louis and Barry have collapsed, giving the both of them a cup of tea in order to sober the two up somewhat. From here a long discussion begins revolving around the unclear events of the previous night. 

Think, Dude where's my car meets the hangover.

Our Production Company intends to make use of fairly strange mise-en-scene, for example the characters would be dressed very messily in the same clothes as they had worn the previous night, the props would  be objects such as empty drink cans, cups of tea etc. The lighting would be vibrant and bright at most/all times. We would use a fair amount of effects on the scenes, as well as a wide variety of sound and music that fit the situations. In terms of camera we would use a lot of close-ups and reaction shots. We would include all of this in order to create a sense of humour for the audience to react to. Our target audience would be around the general age ranges of 15-21.
