Treatment:

Title:
Silent Captive
Narrative:
A 17 year old boy goes into a forest to look for his dead brother.
Genre:
The genre of this short film is going to be a thriller and this is
because I think that it is the genre that works best for a dark forest
and the narrative is going to have hallucinations that would fit the
genre of Thriller.
Characters:
Oscar Brandon: A 17 year old boy who regularly has visions of his dead younger.
Sam Brandon: The dead 16 year old brother of Oscar. He is shown through hallucinations.
Synopsis:
A 16 year old boy, Sam Brandon, had gone missing 9 months ago, his
brother, Oscar Brandon, decides to go into the forest to
find out what happened to him. Oscar has tormented moments where he can
talk to the dead brother. This leads to a strange conversation between
Oscar and the hallucination of his brother Sam where Sam tells Oscar not
to find him in the forest. Oscar goes to the forest anyway and starts
hallucinating badly, he can see and hear something following him and
chasing him out of the forest. He manages to get out and trips over.
When he wakes up he is next to Sam and there are flashlights on the
hills. Sam says, I told you, you couldn't find me and disappears.
