Treatment
Title of film; Luck Out
Duration; 5 minutes
Certificate; 12 A
Audience; Our film is targeted at people aged 12 A and above without adult supervision. It is a 12 A because the storyline contains some mildly adult content such as theft and relationship problems. The film is for both males and females but probably drifts more toward female audience as our main character is a female and we see most of the film through her point of view and experiences.
Storyline; Sarah a typical teenager is on her way to visit her grandma to help her sort out her coin collection. While there her Grandma gives her a special double headed coin that she says has magical lucky powers. Sarah is sceptical about this, so just shoves the penny in her bag.
