Yup, it's a Treatment

"The Unwritten Life"

My title is my topic. The Unwritten Life is that part of people that can't be recorded. We know that it exists, but it's not something that could be readily expressed with what we leave recorded. I'm going to divide my essay into three parts: The Written Life, the Unwritten Life, and Why the Unwritten Life Matters.

To explore the Written Life, I am planning on a montage of objects that I consider a part of them: ID numbers, blogs, facebook pages, fingerprints, biographies.

The Unwritten Life is tenatively going to be explored with some scripted scenes and interviews. It's going to have people in it, while the previous section was using mainly objects. They will be seen separately. If there is more than one person shown within a frame, they don't interact much.

Why the Unwritten Life Matters is supposed to wrap the film up as a whole. More people, but they're interacting with others instead of with the camera. I would hope to express the relation between the Unwritten Life with creativity, art, thoughts and ideas.

My friend Katie is going to help me by composing the music.
