Music Video Treatment

Hello, Hello, Hello!

     We spent the lesson finalising the idea of our video. We can't just leave it like a cloud on sticky notes. No no. We need to make sure that it's clear and well thought out. Most importantly, it MUST make sense. So here goes nothing.

     Outline of Ideas: Me and my group would like our idea to revolve around a party setting. We would have the main singer  travelling through different parties in search for the 'gurus'. We would have the spot the gurus in the first party then start looking for them. After finding clues the main artist would be lead to the gurus. Hopefully a circular narrative would be possible to complete. Meaning that at the end she would visit the exact same party that she visited first, though the colour scheme would be changed and this time she would actually be able to reach the gurus that she was looking for all along.

     What resources we need: We would need a female main performer, two supporting performers for the gurus and extras for the party scenes. For props we would need glow sticks, masks for the supporting characters, a wig, bright clothing, bright makeup and a pair of boots for the main performer. Hopefully we will be able to set our scenes in a black room or a theatre with curtains. Of course we will also need lighting equipment and a tripod to stabilise the camera.

     Justification of idea in relation to genre: Dance music videos usually include everyday scenes. Like parties and people coming together. Therefore having party scenes in our video will be justified. But dance music videos also tend to have an underlying story to them, this is why we will have the main girl looking for the gurus. We will be going slightly further away from conventions by having the main character actually perform in the video since usually there is no performance and the singers are not even present. We are doing so because our chosen song has lyrics throughout.
