LO1 Treatment for short film

Film Title: The burning Candlestick.

Film Length:

I would prefer to make the short film approximately 5-7 minutes long. This is because it is within the timeframe given in the brief.

Genre:
My film will be silent film. This is because I enjoy this type of film and they seem more dramatic and fun to make. The genre of this film will be slap stick comedy.

Characters

Character List:
As it is a silent film we don't need to name the characters as we don't here them/ the audience won't know them.

Plot synopsis:
The plot to the silent film is that a woman walks into the park and makes a startling discovery.

A man is found half buried in a sandpit with a burning candlestick next to the person.  

She checks to make sure that he is not dead. He wakes up and dazed they run away, leaving the candlestick with the woman. She takes the candlestick home and ends up caught in a web of lies, blackmail and murder... her murder.
