The treatment

The title of my trailer is Jinxing Resurrection. It is a trailer that depicts the unwillingness to believe in special ability and the desperation to bring a loved one back. I am directing this trailer, My name is Bella Paton, my email address is ipaton@sthildas.qld.edu.au and my FTV blog address is http://ipatonftvnm.blogspot.com.au

A Psychic places a crystal ball and tarot cards on a table. A car door is slammed. Psychic pours some tea in a cup. Jinx walks into the psychics room. The psychic tells Jinx she has a ability to resurrect. Jinx exits the Psychics room quickly.Jinx and her friend in the car laughing. Jinx crashes the car. A black screen is seen while crashing and screaming noises are heard

Jinx opens her eyes. Jinx realises that her friend is dead. Jinx pull’s on a black cardigan and smooths her hair. The scene cuts to Jinx placing some flowers on her best friends grave. 

Jinx enters the psychics room. The psychic tells Jinx she is sorry for her loss. Jinx her she doesn't have the power to resurrect people. The psychic tells Jinx that she can help her bring her friend backs but she will need training and practise. She pulls out wilting flowers and places them on the table. She tells Jinx she needs to she needs to restore the wilting flowers. Back at home Jinx googles ‘people who can resurrect’. The scene cuts back to the psychics tent. Jinx is picking up flowers that she has just restored. The psychic tells Jinx that when she goes back she will need to believe in herself. Jinx asks the psychic “What do you mean go back?”. The Psychic informs Jinx that she has the ability to send someone back in time. Jinx says: “I’m ready now.” The psychic tells Jinx she isn’t prepared. The scene cuts to Jinx in her bed tossing and turning while a voice over of the psychic says: “You need to put you self back into that situation.” “Your back there on that day.” The scene cuts to Jinx (in her imagination/dream) sitting behind the wheel. The scene cuts back to the psychics room she tells Jinx that she is ready.

There is a black screen and car crash and screaming noises that are heard. Jinx opens her eyes. Jinx wraps her hands around her friends arm and closes her eyes. The whole trailer up to this point replays in very fast motion. Jinx opens her eyes and lets go of her friends arm. Jinx’s friend opens her eyes, white fade out is seen.
