Assignment 2: Painting to Life

Cherubs

By Frances Burkham, Sarah Marran, Rafael Smith, and Leigh Ann Kay




Logline:
Two students let their minds wander as they actively daydream during detention.

Treatment:
As the video begins, two female students are seen entering a detention session. They
pull out their study materials and begin to work. Just as they start to focus, they
both begin daydreaming. As they ponder, the camera pans back and forth between
them, entering their thoughts, and illustrating a flashback sequence that the two are
familiar with. The flashback takes place in the lobby of the Ward building, where
the two girls met an attractive young man earlier that week. The first student’s
memories during the flashback are very positive, and she finds herself head over
heels for the attractive boy. The second students memories are much more negative;
she does not like the boy and is upset by her friend’s obsession with him. Their
contrasting opinions of the meeting slowly put a divide in their friendship. Just as
their daydreaming reaches its deepest level, they are awoken at the same time. They
are pulled back into reality, and the two girls continue on with their schoolwork.
