Treatment of Our Music Video
Working title: BΔSTILLE – Close your eyes
Genre: Music video (pop)
Duration: Approximately 3 minutes
Target audience: 14-21 (both males and females)
Outline: The start of our video will consist of a short piece of narrative showing a young couple engaging in an argument, as a result of the argument the man walks out. He takes his phone out his pocket and puts his earphones in (this is when the music commences). Here the artist will be singing in the background as he makes appearances consistently throughout the song.
After the shots of the man walking away looking depressed (close up), the camera cuts back to the woman walking into her room whilst crying she then wipes the tears away and increases the volume on her radio (the volume of the song is maximised), this suggests that the couple still have feelings for each other despite the fact that he is out of proximity. She then dramatically lies down on the bed (which will be constructed via a birds eye shot).
Shortly afterwards, the artists will be seen singing the lyrics in the park, whilst the man (boyfriend) sits on a bench and pulls out his phone out of his coat pocket, he sits and stares at it; he then accidently drops his phone pulling his earphones (this is where the music pauses). He then looks at his phone which shows an image of his girlfriend at a coffee shop. We then add a transition which goes from the still image to the moving frame of his girlfriend at home.
(From previous shot) it cuts to the woman, in the coffee shop; shows them laughing whilst having a good time. The waiter (who is the singer) serves them so we will see the artist singing the lyrics in the coffee shop. Whilst leaving the coffee shop an extreme longshot is shown whilst the boyfriend and the girlfriend walk into the distance.
This correlates to the man walking in the same location however it fades so it shows him solely on his own. Whilst walking along he notices a couple having a good time (girl is laughing) – correlating with his relationship. The artist is seen singing to the lyrics again.
He continues walking to the house and opens the front door, approaches his girlfriend they embrace. The video then fades to white. The camera then turns shoots out of a window showing another man aggressively walks out (almost recreating the previous scene of the boyfriend and girlfriend shown at the start.
