Treatment For Music Video

For our music video, we had to create a treatment and this simply shows an overview and synopsis of the task in hand. 

Treatment for Music Video

Song selection: Proxies - Trojan (Inside Your Chest)

Genre: Electronica (song) Drama (video)

Audience: Teenagers, young adults.

Music Video Choice: Narrative as it follows a story.

Intertextuality: There is no real intertextuality as the video does not cross into any other texts.

Star Image: Unknown actors will be used meaning the video will have an ‘underdog’ status.

The Synopsis: The music video follows a journey of a male character starting off being dumped from a long term relationship from a girl. This leads to a tale of losing self control and going overboard. Another character will be performing or lip-syncing as its also known and be following the journey of the raged character. The journey ends up at a house party where the main character starts to binge drink and ends up collapsing.

The Locations: The first location will be the waterfront and dock area in the Suffolk town of Ipswich. This will soon follow with other locations in the town and work its way through the countryside areas surrounding the big town on the main characters journey ending up in a house, which will result in the final location. 

Characters: The characters in our music video focus on the main character who will be played by a male. The next character that features is a female who delivers the bad news to the main character. Other characters in the video that feature are a few male members who deliver the lyrics and finally other background characters feature that will create the house party scene. These create a great atmosphere for the music video as it will show the intensity and craziness that happens with teenagers and their rebellious ways.
