Treatment For My Music Video

Song: Layers

Artist: Martin Sky

Director: Courtney Brodie

Summary: This music video is gonna consist of cinematic shots, and the narrative element is going to revolve around the idea of lost friendship and how things change so suddenly. The song's lyrics are about friendship and how it can help you grow as a person and this music video I will utilise the friendship idea, and have two friends who are experiencing the same things and having fun with each other. 

Vision:

During the intro I do want my actor to be in an isolated setting, looking through a phone and debating whether to text someone they have lost touch with. 'Layers' is a very dreamy song and does evoke the kind of vibe that this is a song to listen to whilst looking back on fond memories. 

The next scene will be the start of what seems to be a flashback and we come to the setting of the lake. This scene will start with an establishing shot of the boardwalk looking onto the lake, and the trees that surround. Then I will have different shots at this location of my actors looking into the water, walking on the boardwalk and skimming stones. 

The next location I will shoot, is the fields along the Weekley footpath. This scene will start with a close up shot of the feet of my actor climbing over the small little fence just before you hit the walkway. Within this location I will get shots of my actors walking and running along the fields, kicking up leaves. Along the Weekley footpath there are also some wood areas which are mainly just forest. I will make my actors venture into these places and do things like climb trees. 

The cornfields will be the next location, the actors will venture there way to them, going past the brooke and then eventually into the cornfields.  

I was then thinking of branching out and shooting along Warkton, due to the fact it is a very old yet elegant looking village, and there are also some interesting footpaths which can be found within this location. 

I would then like my music video to revert back to the very opening scene and have my actor in the same setting just before they walk off. At this point my intention would be to show that no matter who is lost everyone will be okay, and thats what my actor is realising.
