Music Video Treatment

Song title: TC - Wheres My Money Genre: Dubstep

Ideas/Concepts/Inspiration

I want to base my music video around the whole idea that one person owes another person money, hence the song title Wheres My Money. The whole genre is being dubstep is based around the really heavy bass, sub woofers will be included. The main aspect of the video would have to be a phone call, it is key in the song, the main lyrics in the song is the phone call itself. The fact whether i have a car chase depends on how easily we can film it. The main ideas I would want to focus on for the video is including the phone call and a car chase, a real story line for the song. I'm going to go with a narrative structure.

What will i need ? (props,actors,locations etc)
x
  • Actors - anywhere from 3 - 5 people.
  • Cars, Phones, Sub woofers
Location wise there are many different places where this can be shot, I want to aim for more long stretches of road more than tighter street roads, there is so much more you can "attempt" on a long stretch like a ring road, an underground car park.

What will the challenges be and how will I overcome them?

Now within this video there are going to be quite a few challenges to overcome. The main one will be the filming of the car chase, the angles in which i will have to shoot it from, the guys who are going to be up for the making of video. Budget is going to be a main concern as well, use age of petrol is not going to be free.

Justification

I am going to be using the todorovs narrative theory with my video, being the fact that the structure of the song lyrics make up a story. Dubstep tracks and videos usually do not have a structured story, but in this case with Wheres My Money, you can just imagine the story going through your mind when listening to it. To have the narrative theory based around the video I will have to include the five elements of Todorovs theory; Equilibrium,
