Treatment Mod

Scene 1 – Verse 1
The opening sequence of the music video is of the camera focused on letters on the floor. The camera slowly pans up and around to reveal the lead vocalist, whom is laying in a pile of love letters. whilst he is singing to the pre recorded backing track.
Scene 2 - Chorus 1
We now cut to a shot of the band on stage but only the lead vocalist is visible, the other members are blacked out, in the dark. We would also have letters from the initial scene falling on the band members. Finally we would create this scene using eclectic shots such as dolly shots, pans, jib shots etc.
Scene 3 - Chorus 1
A shot from the outside looking through a window at a/the girl. We now have a reverse of the previous shot where we see the girls back and the lead singer outside singing. The singer would then fade away to the lyrics "memories that are clear to fade"
Scene 4 - Verse 2
We then see her leading him by the hand into the woods, as she does so his hand slips from hers and they become separated. A camera shot shows their hands moving apart and so the distance between increasing. This then goes to a shot of the lead singer running around in various directions in an attempt to find her. We would have camera shots of him running towards the camera and high angle shots to give the feeling of being lost.
Scene 5 - Chorus 2
In this scene there will be a collection of shots of the whole band performing. We are also hoping to get in an audience to give more of a feel of a live performance. Another idea, we would like to record the singers at twice the speed therefore allowing us to slow the video down as professional videos do, this makes it look much more fluent.
Scene 6 – Verse 3 + Chorus 3
Here we will show our vocalist sitting on a sofa watching tv when the band burst in and start performing the chorus. The camera will then cut back to the live performance and end.
This was our preliminary idea on how it should end, a new ending has been implemented.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment Type-up;
1 Are the technical crew competent? The minimal amount of "technical crew" needed are well aware of the also minima risks involved. They are used to the equipment and are able to perform their said tasks(s)
2 Falls of men and equipment? Staff have no requirements of being at heights for equipment or other reasons.
3 Temporary structures? There are no temporary structures that may need to be safe and motion of said structures is also avoided.
4 Any electrical equipment? The electrical equipment used is correct for the purposes and had been previously installed knowingly safely.
5 Manual handling? The only needed handling would be of the camera's and none of the "crew" would struggle with that.
6 Tripping hazards? The cables and wires are the highest risk of tripping though with only having few people on set then the risk should be minimized. Cables in good condition.
7 Vehicles in the studio? There is no current or known need for vehicular aid within our work.
8 Special effects/Pyrotechnics/Lasers/Strobes? We may, possibly be endeavoring to use strobes however the rest of the options seem hugely unlikely.
9 Children on site? He will be supervised by the "crew"10 Stunts/ Novelty construction? Erm, we kinda don't need any stunts within our production.
11 Weapons/ Firearms/ Crossbows? We are strongly dismissed from the use of any of these items.
12 Practical Fires/ Cookers (Butane/ Propane?)? Also an unneeded and overzealous application for an A2 media piece of work.
13 Smoke generators? We may have a smoke machine depending on weather or not we are allowed it within the studio area.
14 Controlled substances? There is a very minimal set-up requirement, we seem to be safe.
15 Water? Not within our production.
16 Glass? The glass in in the form of a window. And so the safety element is high already.
17 Confrontational subject matter? The topic is broad and speaks to all and so is not confrontational at all.
18 Animals? No!
19 Audience require extra super vision? They will be around 17+ and so will be able to be responsible for their selves.
20 Wheelchairs? nope
21 Health conditions? no
22 Smoking? possibly?
