Just complete the following section
：Treatment (Proposal) with Storyboard
Each group will produce a detailed “treatment,” which is a written outline of the segment. The treatment will include a “storyboard,” which is a visual illustration of each shot. The storyboard is more than just a sketch; it will be used as the set of instructions for filming and post-production.
Components of the Treatment
I. Division of Labor
In this section, address how the work will be divided evenly among group members. Include each group member’s name, and describe his or her areas of responsibility.
II. Written Outline
Introduction
• Introduce the myth in the form of a question. Notice how the Mythbusters will always phrase it in the form of a research question. For example, “Can gummy bears be used as rocket fuel?”
• Provide background context: its origin (who, where)
• A detailed hypothesis: an educated guess whether the myth will be proven true or false, and why
Methodology
Very often, it is impossible to test the actual myth in its original conditions. So the Mythbusters team will design a version of it that can be tested in a controlled environment.
• Explain the design of the experiment
• Include a diagram of the experiment
• Show how any substitutions will still produce accurate results. For instance, instead of testing on actual human beings, the team will substitute mannequins, but will explain how the material from which they are made will function similarly.
Experiment
• Mythbusters has very strict standards for evidence. To prove or disprove a myth, each episode depicts the experiment in action. It is very important that the audience see the crucial moments of the experiment, hence the use of close-ups, slow-motion, and repetition.
Discussion of Results
• After the experiment has been demonstrated, the hosts of the show will typically discuss what we have just seen. It is very rare that the experiment is self-explanatory.
• The discussion connects the experiment to the myth. Since the experiment is often a model of a real-life event, the hosts will need to explain how the experiment proves or disproves the myth, including the factors that might be present in the myth that could not be replicated in the experiment. For instance, in proving that a falling icicle could kill a person, the show did not actually kill a person with an icicle, but used the results of an experiment to suggest that it could happen.
Conclusion
• Each episode ends with a clear judgment on each myth: Busted, Plausible, Confirmed
Could you please let me know the topic you choose when you plan it out? I would just like to make sure that that meets the requirements.
