Week 18, a newer buzz with the treatment due in just about two days. There was excitement, confusion and cries all over the place. Everything was going well so far up until the phrase treatment popped into our minds and the first thought that entered everyone's mind was - What do we write?

My mind was exactly torn into two halves, two absolute and perfectly carved out halves. One side equivalent to the other. My animation pre-production pack was due on Friday whilst the treatment was due on Tuesday. I visited Shufi's two nights before the animation deadline and she had the exact same look as me. We were both puzzled. As much as I've been trained in multi-tasking by my generation for the ideal 21st century lifestyle, I was absolute caught off guard. My mind would just not agree with the idea of thinking about two things at once, two deadlines with extreme importance marked on both. I spent the two nights working with the animation module and as soon as I finished the animation submission, the team was summoned for an emergency treatment review.

Every member presented their research work from Week 17, we started going through our events list from the film's scripts. Each action, each detail and every shot was taken into consideration. I began to request Google, my best friend for help once again. I started reviewing Film Treatment examples for pre-made films and their templates, accessing moodle and going through all the lectures over and over again to finalise the treatment over the weekend.

We managed to put things in order, one after the other, discussing the contents of the film and checking reason behind the event, the location of the event and the camera angles of the event after which we started to frame it in the universal language spoken by almost all human beings on this planet, the English Language.

After spending many tiring hours in the computer suite, we managed to finalise our treatment and with a final click - 'Upload' 

We had achieved freedom.

Temporarily.
