Treatment

I will now create my own treatment that i would pitch to a director for YouMeAtSix- If I Were In Your Shoes, now know as MeYou&Her- Walk You Off.

This is my treatment:

Name of Artist:

You Me at Six
Title of Track:

If I Were In Your Shoes
Genre:

Alternative Rock

Target Audience: 15-25 years old

Outline of Idea:
Hybrid Music video; with narrative and concept visuals being used. About 8 different locations. All very different. All frames linking in with the shoes shown in other frames. A young persons shoes then the point of view shot of them in there life, then cut to a house wife’s shoes and then her point of view on her life ect. Ect.
There is also a performance at the end where the first person walks to the front of the concert and watches the band perform.

Intertextual References
In a way the constant use of point of view may remind viewers of a video game. Like a 3rd person type game.
Also the performance at the end will remind us of watching a concert live or even on TV.

Locations.
Locations are accessible, yet permission would be needed for the house and town locations due to their private/public nature.

Resources needed:
Camera’s,

tripods,

instruments,

PA system,

band members,

clothing,

actors,

shoes.

Key Shots:

Establishing, Pan of person’s surroundings.
Zoom in on one pair of shoes and zoom out to reveal a different pair. (Different Person)
High angle of peoples in there surroundings.
Point Of View shots all the way through.
Long shot on the band at the concert.

Justification of Idea:
This is a hybrid of narrative and performance, many songs of this genre use visuals to narrate the lyrics and I am doing so here. There is a performance too, which is typical of this genre's music videos.

I will now start to create a story board for this Treatment.

Before I begin my story board i will research some directors and there videos.
I will particularly look out for the director that does the music videos for YouMeAtSix.
