Visual response: Treatment

I wanted to show in an animation that gay relationships are no different to heterosexual ones. I thought about what would be the best way to do this with great difficulty. I needed a situation that very much highlight a monogamous heterosexual relationship but also a use something that could be recognised in my interpretation

I decided to use the classic "Hi honey, I'm home" trope from 50's/60's american sit coms. These scene seemed perfect as they are easy to replicate in a manor were people recognise there context but also because they always were reinforcing sexist/homophobic views. I looked at a few different american sit coms such as bewitched to get an idea of how these scenes panned out.

I want the scene to show people the normality of gay relationships but also that more normalised gay relationships belong in animation.

Treatment:

The scene will start with the husband coming home saying "Hi honey Im home" They next shot will show the wife coming out of the kitchen. The house wife will walk over to the husband who will be a woman in the next shot (now two women in shot) and kisses her on the cheek before taking her coat. Both women will walk through to the kitchen were both characters are now male versions in the kitchen shot. This is were the house husband pours the other one a drink theres some dialogue and the scene ends.
