The tagline for my film: "What happens when food consumes you."

My treatment:
I want my film to start with noises. Possibly gagging noises. It going to go into 3 different interviews intertwined with one another (2 girls one boy). They're all going to separately share their experiences of having an eating disorder. Everyone's experience is so different and as a film maker i want to expose this disease that isn't talked about. I want to explore how this disease affected three very different people in similar ways, and ways the disease was unique to them. I plan to have visuals of them talking about their experience and capture the raw emotions, as well as have beginning and end of the film end with only audio. I have pictures of the victims in treatment i plan to show while having an audio voiceover.

Expository documentary style: Creating a documentary in this style allows for many opportunities. For example you can speak to the viewer and guide them with questions, or let them talk without prompting. In "It's a Girl", We see elements of voice over with accompanying imagery, natural dialogue, prompted questions, and raw emotion from the subject as well as the filmmaker. I want to include all of these elements in my film because I don't want the answers and statements from the subject to be forced. I want to capture imagery with vague promoted questions, but let the subject answer how they would like.

French New Wave is about experimenting. Witch characteristics such as jump shots, authority figures, and black and white, it shows how any technique can turn into a formal and landmark element. The similar characteristics show the abstract nature and innovative elements of the french era.

A film that has influenced me is Kill Bill by Quentin Tarantino. His use of color throughout the movie is exquisite and shows the importance of many scenes, just as a painting does. He uses intimate facial expressions and phrases that make the viewer feel uncomfortable yet intrigued. He changes elements throughout the film when the scenes change from black and white, to color, to cartoon. The whole movie connects through these elements.
