Treatment

Treatment – Short film

• ·      A group of fiends (4-6) are walking into a snicket; they are about to buy some drugs off a dealer. One friend is filming saying its for ‘memories’. The dealer is not happy about the presence of the camera; the camerawoman pretends to turn it off but leaves it on really and films in secret. A deal is reached; the group of friends then buys 10 grams of alleged ‘cocaine’. The dealer leaves.

• ·      The next scene is set in the school toilets, a bit of the ‘cocaine’ is sprinkled on the sink top but everyone is scared to be the first one to try it. They are all egging each other on but no one try’s, suddenly a teacher walks into the bathroom saying ‘This is a study period!’ One friend stands in front of the drugs, hiding it from the view of the teacher. There is sighing of relief.

•        The final scene is in the countryside; the cameraman takes the camera out at the point of Zara finally agreeing to take the drug. One friend then says ‘I have seen crack before, this looks different’ as Zara is pouring it out on their school bag but she is told to shut up. Zara takes one sniff, everything is fine but when she continues she falls unconscious. Everyone is panicking, one friend starts to do CPR when a foamy substance starts to come out of her mouth, she also realises some scars beginning to appear on Zara. The camera grows closer to Zara, she begins to growl and twitch. Zara suddenly gets up and starts to attack her friends, grabbing one unfortunate one, at this point the cameraman has hid behind a tree as they she does not want to leave Umaira and the rest have all fled the scene screaming. ‘Zombie Zara’ kills and tears part the face off the friend. The camera is filming everything and whilst crying she is saying her goodbye to the camera. The Zombie has now heard her and walks towards the tree and attacks her resulting in the camera to turn off.
