Film Treatment

Mollie Fletcher is our protagonist of the film. Mollie and her boyfriend Nate Tyler are the school sweethearts, leaving the popular girls extremely jealous, especially when Nate is the school heartthrob too. Things start not going so well for Mollie and Nate, and after a heated argument things look like they are coming to an end. Mollie heads home upset, goes into a range and get's rid of everything that reminds her of Nate. She comes across her phone and scrolls down her contact list to the name "Nate", with a tap of a button she deletes his name and number from her phone.
The next day in school Mollie and her best friend Lilly Jones head to class and see posters plastered over the school saying 'Nate Tyler: MISSING', and in Mollie's class are the police. Mollie is upset by this after the last time she saw him they had argued. After being interviewed by the police Mollie sits and thinks and explains to Lilly how could Nate just go missing, he hadn't even left his house. Mollie and Lilly decide to find out what has happened to Nate. After some detective work they discover Nate was on webcam at the time to a friend when he just vanished. Mollie looks at the time Nate 'vanished' and realizes it was the time she's deleted his name from her phone. She explains this to Lilly.
Did Mollie really delete Nate?
Will they ever be able to find him again?

  1. Have a look at structures - eg Syd Fields and try and think about the structure of your film relative to this
