Treatment Ideas

In today's lesson, i concentrated on my ideas and wrote a few down. This was my treatment:

Treatment:

For my music video, I have a number of ideas for the chosen song ‘Rock your body- Burna Boy’. The song is about love but more about a sexual love rather than a sentimental love. I plan to have a performance based/ narrative music video as it goes well with the song.

I have thought about the colours within the song. Which are going to be blue, green red and black. The reason for these colours are because the song is quite soft and these colours are soft as well and mix really well. I have visions of the music video having various locations such as a house, O2 cable cars bridge, isle of dogs and central London. The video will be shot at night time as it goes more with the colour theme that is going on. The lyrical content is romantic and I think that these locations and the time of day will go together well.

The music video will consist of a number of 3 dancers potentially one girl and two boys. A couple that will be used in the narrative part of the video. I want the music video to consist of slow motions scenes of a musical instrument being played in the rain or with water on it. This effect has been done before and looked extremely effective and as afro beats heavily use drums it would make sense to do a clip of drums being used.

The performance will be filmed also at night and will consist of afro beat dancing that goes well with the beat. The choreography of this  will be made by one of the dancers themselves.

One music video that really inspired me was ‘For Life- Runtown’ because the music video is relatable to my ideas. I like how it has a mix of narrative and performance based.
