Treatment

• Theme – A guy character losing his rights to live and his head is messed up and he is falling out with friends and girlfriend.

• Costume – The main character will wear Dark skinny/slim fit jeans, a T-shirt with a Dark hoody jacket.

Storyline
• A high angle shot of the person featured in the video, the camera with then pan upwards up his body to show his face and the location where he is. The surrounding is to be dark, dull and run down giving a gloomy feel to the beginning of the video.

• The next shot will be from behind the actor showing what he can see giving the audience a better understanding of the run down location in which he is stood.

• Next a shot of the persons iPod and a finger clicking the play button, as he does this the beat of the music will begin to drop and then the camera will zoom right in and a flicker effect will take it to the next shot.

• The character will walk down a rundown alley way and past a graffiti wall, the floor and walls will be dirty, and the art on the walls will have relevance to the song lyrics and the theme of the video.

• The camera will then cut to a low angle shot of the characters back as he walks down a road. The camera will be slightly above the character to portray that someone is watching him and to make the character appear small and inadequate.
• To continue the feel of inadequacy and loneliness, a shot from very high up with the effect of a security camera will be next, this links to the characters paranoia and troubled head.

• Another shot from a different high point will pan left and appear to show the character pulling something out of his pocket.

• Just before entering a rundown building he flicks a cigarette and enters then disappears into the darkness.

• The next shot is of him sat lonely in a dark room with rays of light shining through caps in the old wall that he is facing. A ray of light with then highlights him sat there and he exits the building.

• As he walks past the abandon building the camera flashes to what appears to be a rave and he is walking in an identical way through the middle.
• As he walks down a busy road he bumps into a few of his friends and they begin to argue, they all then exit the camera shot and leave the character obviously upset to the audience.

• A shot shown through the wind screen of a car drives passed and sees the upset character standing lonely and very still.

• The camera then cuts back to the character approaching a house and entering to find his girlfriend lying on a bed and very upset, the camera will be a point of view shot and will turn back round and leave slowly. This insinuates that the character runs away from his troubles and doesn’t approach problems.

• The next shot is of the character leaving the house in a rush that turns into a sprint, another security camera will pick him up from a high shot again making him look inadequate.

• The character comes to a stop and heavy breathes and appears to be upset, a dolly cam follows him slightly down the road and pass his old friends that are staring evilly at him, the character holds his head down and doesn’t make eye contact so he doesn’t appear to care, but it is obvious to the audience he is upset.

• The character the walks up towards a bright sun and stands on the top of a hill facing the sun.

• There is a shot of him facing the sun, and he will appear to be a silhouette in the sun.

• The final show is a pan from the characters face and then gradually sinks down to the ground and the camera goes black.
