Another potential music video treatment

Band/ Artist: Placebo
Song: 20 years

Star Image:

  • Alternative/ underground
  • Introverts
  • Vulnerable yet confident
  • Open sexualities/ transcendent of the boundaries e.g risqué clothing
  • Depressive

Treatment for music video:

  • Autumn, shots of leaves falling, slow
  • Emphasis on colour
  • 3 piece band to be playing in arranged lighting so the faces cannot be seen (suggesting more importance on the music and the emotion as opposed to the individual, this supports the concept of introvercy)
  • Narrative element being a solitary man walking these empty yet colourful scenes of autumn, but he has no colour.
  • He stares at clocks, time speeds and slows
  • When the music builds, his surroundings loose colour and he gains his colour, but the world stands still around him as if he is trapped
  • The final shot is an extreme close up of his eye, reverse zoom back up over him in a different location (i.e his room) staring blankly into the camera.
