This is our final treatment that received the most votes in the class. We wanted to make it look visual and creative so we decided to write it out on larger paper and add colour,images etc to it. A treatment is a small overview of what our teaser trailer is going to be about.
We thought it will be good if we added a character profile describing each characters role, within the trailer and also added pictures of existing actors that we thought matched the characters description. in addition, we added Propp's theory to all the characters.

- Nathan (helper/villain's best friend)
