Treatment for Continuity Task

We have named our Continuity Task, ‘Error’. ‘Error’ is of a mystery/detective genre, we feel this can appeal to an audience more of older/mature age as the storyline is not simple and clear; it invites the audience to join in with solving the issues and obscurity of different situations. Such as, to why the characters are in the location and why they react in the way they do.

Within the short clip, gender isn’t shown stereotypically, for example in the majority of films woman are seen as a ‘damsel in distress’, they are the weaker ones of the sexes and aren’t independent. However, we see that though ‘Kat’ is clearly upset she doesn’t react in a distraught manner but in a more angry tone towards the questions asked, as she feels she doesn’t have control over the situation. Unlike ‘Natalie’ who stays calm and knows what to look/ask for; this makes her look independent and strong as she knows what she’s looking for.
