Red - the colour red relates to this treatment as red is a strong colour which give off a high mysterious energy. Red is a combination of mixed emotions which Alan is going trough as he is trying to fish out missing answers from his childhood.
PITCH:

he has not seen them in a very long time. To his surprise everything had changed drastically. What is the dark secret that has taken over this beautiful town. How will Alan uncover the truth about this awful secret.
TREATMENT/SYNOPSIS:
My
idea for my film is based on the story of an adult who takes a trip down memory lane where he encounters strange activities. This
is mainly based on the drawings he drew as a child. The main
character Dave is a successful business man who lives in the busy city, London. He
has been promoted recently and is travelling back to his home village to
visit his family and celebrate the good news with them. Although he
hasn’t spoken or seen his parents in a few years, he takes this
opportunity as the perfect way to make it a surprise visit. As he is
travelling to his village from the city where he currently lives , he starts looks upon the
changes that have occurred. As he arrives at his old house, he senses an
airiness that he has never felt before. It is a strange and very
uncomfortable feeling. His natural instinct tells him that this is
wrong, but he decides to brush it off and continue on his journey to
meet his family. As he approaches his childhood house another car drives
in the opposite direction, both drivers make eye contact. The
passengers in the opposing car were all dressed in a dark mysterious
blue cloaks with an unwelcoming glare in their eyes. From this encounter
Alan was stunned by what had happened. In that short moment in which he
had eye contact with the opposing driver he notices a few elements that
do not sit right with him. A brightly coloured toy in which he could
recognise, but he couldn't remember why this had looked so familiar to
him. A sail boat in which his father used to row when he was younger. As
he approached his parents beautiful town house. Confusion, anger and
horror had overwhelmed his body. WHAT HAD HAPPENED?! The front yard had
been pulled apart, the front ornaments were literally shattered into
pieces. The more steps Alan took towards his now not so beautiful house
he notices that there are a lot of scattered newspapers that have been
ripped up. As he continues to walk he picks up a piece of the newspaper
that had been ripped up. Too his surprise it resembles a familiar
drawing. Although the edges had been torn slightly, but he could still
make out what the drawing was. It was surprisingly similar to the one
that he had recently seen in the car, instead as an animated object. As
Alan finally gets to his door which is normally wedged tight. To his
surprise the door is wide open. He is welcomed with a horrible stench of
a smell. Alan then shouts for his parents “MUM, DAD?” no reply… A
sudden movement is made in the house. As he notices the figments that
resemble his parents he approaches them. They turn away. Wondering on
how he is going to communicate with them, Alan decides to show them the
picture that he had found. The woman breaks down in an agonising cry.
Trying to comfort the woman Alan goes over to hug her. The male glares
at him. As Alan stood there shocked, emotions raced through him. He just
wanted to know answers, from the family wearing all black cloaks in the
blistering Arizona weather, to the toy in the back seat of the car that
resembled his childhood picture that he had drawn just over 30 years
ago, to the now shattered loving home that he had grown up in, to his
parents shying away from reality.
Alan needs answers.
And he needs to know NOW.
