*This treatment was created before the Emma Lake outing. Reading this now, after having made the final project, it is interesting to see how closely I stuck to the treatment.*
Objective
To create a short film between 10-15 minuets in duration, exhibiting the importance of the Arts in Canadian society. If effectively done, it will be sent to the canadian government (a.k.a Stephen Harper).
Goals
To unsurface the seemingly buried relativity of the Arts to other subjects and studies in Canada. With varied interviews of individuals will bring awareness of the importance of support for the Arts, and hopefully encourage appreciation and inspiration for the Arts. Give a brief education of the Arts in general.
Film Summary
The target audience is the general canadian audience so it will follow a public friendly accessibility for viewing and how the short film will be put together. It will be a combination of interviews of a variety of people showcasing how Arts have touched different people and helped them benefit in their or on their way in their career path, be it in the Arts or outside of the Arts. The film in it’s entirety I hope to create it as an abstract art piece itself with the interviews as merely a piece of the puzzle. In the end I hope it serves inspiration, appreciation, awareness, and education. Proving also that the Arts help to strengthen minds, community and culture of a nation.
