Music Video Treatment


This is the treatment Bruno and I have come up with:
Breakdown:
Music video is structured A-B-A-B-A.
A: This is a section when the camera is generally following our main character through a specific area, where things occur to him where he passes through. But there will still be brief cuts and different types of shots slotted in at different moments during the section.
B: This will be during the chorus, and is not a following shot. It presents our main character and his gang in a run-down urban spot.

A1: Belsize Park/Hampstead Garden Suburbs – The song begins with him leaving a house in Belsize Park, and then walking through the area while rapping. During this shot, he is about to light a cigarette until someone takes it out of his mouth, he turns around to chase him, trips over (falling out of the shot), then stands back up in a different outfit. He also gets in a random car – pulling the front seat passenger out of the car, then the car drives off.
B1: Golders Green – When the verse finisher, the following shot cuts, and shots of the main character and his gang in a rundown alley begin. These brief shots will involve the gang doing gestures, jamming with & without the decks.
A2: St Johns Wood – This shot follows our main character through the area of St Pauls. Again several things happen to him while he raps this verse. For example, he passes a couple, and snatches the woman from the man’s arms, kisses her and returns her.
B2: (same as B1)

Edit (Feb 2018): Although this was our original plan, when we were out filming we came up with plenty of ideas on the spot, and through editing we channeled even more new ideas, leading to a video that is in fact almost completely different to the original treatment.
