Experimental Film - Treatment

The theme for my experimental video is going to be partly thriller based and partly sci-fi based. I want it to have long takes in places as I want it to make the viewer feel uncomfortable when watching and I am hoping that by including longer takes than needed it will cause this awkward pause at the end of some takes, leaving the viewer being forced to watch something that they don't find comfortable. I plan to structure my video in a non linear way. By this I mean that I am planning to show things such as the exact shots that I use of showing the man enter the room will be played on the screen when he plugs himself into the television and this will hopefully disorientate the viewer which is exactly what I hope to do. With regards to the visual style, I think I want to keep the colour fairly saturated as I want it to represent the mans life but once he plugs in the cable to his neck, the look of the film flips as the colour will do a sharp gradient and have the hue and saturation increased to emphasise the colour as we are seeing what is going on in his head. Once he unplugs himself again the colour will then go back to being saturated and bland to represent that the only time the man feels anything will be when he is plugged into the television. The target audience for my film is suitable for both male and female and will be aimed around the ages of 16+ as I am going to be including themes in the film such as sex, war and bad language, meaning that this video will be suitable for people of a mature mind set.
