TreatmentBlurb Family targeted drama adventure. A family

determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus.

Character biographies Olive Hoover – played by Abigail Breslin, Olive is a young girl who is forever wishing to be miss America one day. She dreams of becoming a winner from the national beauty pageant. She has an excellent relationship with her grandpa and aspires to do everything to make him happy.

Richard Hoover- Played by Greg Kinnear. Richard is a very one minded kind of man and likes to do things his way and the right way. He’s arrogant and not afraid to show how feels in inconvenient situations.

Dwayne – Played by Paul Dano. Dwayne is an extremely quiet character and only has a few lines throughout the whole film! However he is a miss understood and complicated character we see this through the way he acts in the film. His emotions and feeling are portrayed very differently to others in this film.

Grandpa Edwin – Played by Alan Arkin. Grandpa is a very funny character and has an excellent relationship with his granddaughter, not so much the grandson. He is a character that makes elder people who watch this film laugh. He brings a lot of comedy to the film with his inappropriate comments but is awfully different to his son, Richard. Grandpa has a good heart and is loved very much by his family.

Sheyrl hoover – Played by Toni collete. Sheyrl (also known as mum) is a good hearted woman and is easily persuaded. She is constantly on the go and in the film sequence we see her most of the time stressed, knackered or happy. She portrays what most mums do every day in their life. She’s encouraging but is not defeated when her arrogant husband tries to put her down.

Statement of intentI plan to complete this short five minute sequence by expanded the shots and possibly adding in a few of my own lines, to show it is a real re-enactment.I’m the best possible person to capture this re-enactment as I have planned how when and why I need to do this. I’m very organised and can

work well within a short amount of time. I will have to plan all the pre productio0n beforehand to then go ahead and film, in lessons and outside of college in my free spare time.

Storyline A young girl around the age of 8 is dying to be a part of the ‘little miss sunshine’ beauty pageant. Her family cross and horrendous amount of family obstacles for Olive to be at the national pageant in memory of her grandpa.
