Treatment for Music Video

Setting/Location Shots
We have some initial ideas of where the video could be set. The first idea we had ideas that it could be set in alley ways, where it is dark and gloomy, to show how dark the character feels at that time, then we were going to have another setting in a very lit location, to show that the character now feel better, and enlightened, as he finds things that reminds him of the past.

Colour Pallet
The colour pallet that will be used will be a light blue tint, to lighten the mood, and when he sees things that remind him of the past it will be a grey coloured background to show the audience that it is back in time to make it more obvious to the viewer.

These are two examples of the tint that will be over our footage, these will be over our footage to lighten the mood of the video as in some locations the video will be sad as the music is slow.

Brief Overview of narrative

The narrative of the video is that the character is walking around his home town, and seeing items that cause him to remember things about his past, such as a sofa where him and his girlfriend used to sit and talk, or a step outside a shop where him and friends used to hang out, and just places where he used to grow up and memories from his past.

Inkeeping the Genre

The genre of music is post grunge, it inkeeps with the genre quite well as all the actors in the music video will be wearing stone washed jeans, which is a key aspect in the post grunge/grunge genre. we're also closely following the conventions of a grunge music video by watching many videos in the same genre and getting ideas and tips for how we should go about doing ours.

Here is another Post grunge band called Soundgarden, they did songs such as "Fell on Black Days" and "Black Hole Sun".

Costumes and Props
The main costumes that will be used will be just general, basic outdoor clothes, but still following the 90's grunge era conventions such as stone washed jeans and basic T-Shirt just to make the bands image seem normal.

The images below show the kind of basic clothing that the actors during the video, will be wearing, this shows that they are just out on a normal day and are not doing something of any importance, because they are not wearing suits.
