This film treatment outlines a documentary called "Impressions" that explores how people perceive others based on brief interactions. The film follows the filmmaker, Adam, as he interviews people on the street and asks them questions about his name, future career goals, personality in school, and more in order to understand strangers' impressions of him. The treatment provides technical details, synopses, target audience details, contact information for Adam, and sample interview dialogue and scenes. It aims to be a comedic exploration of the assumptions we make about others without truly knowing them.

Synopses
This film is an adventure through peoples minds. the journey
of seeing what people really think of you, and about the
difficulties of getting those people to tell you what they did
think of you in an interview, we join me through the days
attempting to find people to be in interviews and follow us
through the entire filming progress.
target audience
My film is aimed at people with a heart for comedy, because of
the slight comical themes in my film i feel the film will
attract younger people, aged 15-25 and anyone else with a
sense of humor. i do not feel like there is a specific gender
that will enjoy my film more, i feel like it is quite
accessible to most people.
I hope the film reaches many people either in film festivals
or on YouTube, i feel the demographic on YouTube is well
suited for the type of themes in my film.

INT. ADAMS BEDROOM DAY
ADAM:
Impressions. What are they really?
They're judgements of a person. Do we
know these judgements are right? No,
not at all, but that doesn't stop us
doing it, i know for a fact because i
do it. for example , who am i to you? A
face on a screen? A person you've most
likely never seen before. am i a
murderer? No. But do you know that?
No. What would people say if they were
to see you for the first time? Would
they call you friendly? Timid? Creepy?
Self obsessed? Maybe a little of all,
who knows. no one, but I'm off to find
out. lets go!
