Treatment Sheet

Proposed Title/ Song - Little Dragon - Twice

Synopsis of Song Lyrics  - The lyrics are about a break up between a couple and it shows the love the woman still has for the man. Most of the verses in the song are repeated twice throughout the song.

Proposed Storyline and Characters - The video will reflect the song to a good degree because due to the lack of lyrics in the song, it is going to be relativley difficult in order to obtain a good and fairly detailed storyline from the song.

Setting - The video will be set in a very urban part of London called Ilford. There will be shots mainly outisde but a few scenes and shots will be filmed inside the house and eventually progress to outisde as the story continues.

Length - There will be a very short bit of visual narrative at the beginning where it shows the main character about to hang himself but then we will rewind the whole music video at around 10x the normal speed to give the effect that he is going back in time to show why he is about to end his own life.

Format - Digital and edited on Final Cut ProX

Style :

Genre, Mood, etc - The genre of the music video is dubstep and like most dubstep songs it usually has a fairly dark and sometimes disturbing video. The video will be set in a london surburb so that will give a sinister and dark effect to it and give a good mise-en- sense.

Camerawork/type of shots - Fast motion shots and certain parts of the video, pointing the camera in a upward direction facing up towards the actor to give a first person/ motion effect. When the drop of the song occurs there will be very quick and fast camera shots in time with the beat.

Length of shots/ editing - The shots will generally match the beat of the song throughout the video and like mentioned before when the drop of the song happens there will be short and fasdt clips in time to the beat of the song and also add several affects as many dubstep videos contain a variety of effects to add to that club vibe.When the music dies down, then the camera lengths will become longer again.

Movment and action - The camera will follow mainly one character and in turn will show the reasons to why he is going to commit suicide and unveil the story.

Visual Qualities - The video will contain alot of visual effects to add that club vibe. The video will be filmed in both black and white and colour. There will be a few props used to add to the theme and effect of the video.

Handling of Narrative- It will be a fairly simple montage and storyline and it will be relativley easy to work out the story. The story will be a "memory" of the main character and the beggining of the video will be the ending of the film.

Target Audience - The target audience is for those who like the genre of dubstep of a whole but also like the underground amd less well known versions of dubstep and not just the mainsteam songs. The age can vary from 15 - 30 but more male than female.

Technical Aspects:

Equipment - Special cameras, props, editing equipment and possible lighting.

Locations/ Studios - The location will be mostly outside in a urban part of London called Ilford. Also,
The Forum at the University of Hertfordshire can be used for performance scenes.

Resources:

People - Ashley Rex, Anthony Graham Dylan, Sam Thorne, Clara Bush and Emmanuel Akiboue

Time - 1 weekend of filming and 3 weeks worth of editing

Budget - Our budget is very limited! However, we are going to put our own money towards getting a better camera for better quality look and effect

Rationale - This video can possibly create a personal relationship with those in the public who have expereinced the problems that are shown in the video but also the lyrics of the song. However, a video of this genre wil not be shown on many music video channels because of the shots and scenes that people may find disturbing.
