Music VIdeo Treatment

A music video treatment is when production companies or directors work with the artist to form ideas. It outlines the information needed for the vide and tells the reader what the main concept is about. It also helps production companies gage the budget of the video.

3 Main Concepts

1. Performing to a live audience wether it's solo or with a band. It is focussed on the talent.

2. A Storyline i.e certain events or situations that happen in the video

3. Experimental parts such as random images that compliment the music.

Essentials


1. Location

2. Situation

3. Stories/Narrative

4. Look and Feel

5. Tone

6. Pace

7. Colour

Our treatment is an idea of us performing on a stage with a few lights and it's going to be quite dark. Because this is quite a simple setup we can use the college's stage for our recording. It's quite a medium paced song so we can edit it not really quickly but not slowly either. The lighting will mainly focus on one thing at a time so it will start with the bass and  then when the vocals come in the light will go on to the singer.
