Treatment

The song that I am using is called “Who Are You” by Helena Keys. The song is about her expressing her over her anger about the way that the media make celebrities seem so perfect which can make us as the target audience feel ugly. The video will reflect this as it will be set out like a story.

The video will start with the first few scenes of the actress in a bedroom with a magazine on a bed. As the song progresses she will do some pointing actions at the magazine as if to accuse them of how she feels. Furthermore she will then go on to sing about show how they don’t know who she is and how she can be anything she wants and as she is doing this I will have her walk out the room in beat of the song. She will walk out of the open door and then the how scene will fade in and out of white to reveal our performer wearing her formal smart wear on her very own “red carpet” showing who she wants to be and could be. She would be making gestures of frustration and determination to emphasise the lyrics of the song. Whilst she is doing this there would be a photographer taking pictures. This would represent the paparazzi. He would have his flash on and at the point when she gets onto the slow solo part of the song the scene would fade in and out of white. This would then reveal her standing solo in a spotlight with a microphone stand singing the slow part. At this point the shots would slow down to slow panning shots and close ups of her singing. After this scene the narrative would then revert back to her walking down the “red carpet” whilst close ups and long tracking shots would be taken of her. The scene would fade back to white and back out again to her walking back into the bed room in casual clothing where she would walk to the bed in the rhythm of the song and knock the magazine off the bed at the last beat of the drum in the song. I think that this narrative in my video will truly represent what the lyrics of the song mean and will also give the young, starting out performer the ability to present herself and showcase her abilities to the target audience.
