Music Video Treatment

Now that we have decided that we will be making a video to Breakeven by the script, we have come up with a final treatment of our music video. We have decided to make this video simple, yet effective in the way it shows emotions of a young man singing about heartbreak...

We have analysed the lyrics and realised that he is singing about a women who he feels is not feeling as heartbroken as he is.

"cos she moved on while I'm still grieving

and when a heart breaks no it don't break even"

The above is a part of the lyrics of the song. So for our music video, we decided that we will show a young man playing his acoustic guitar, singing about his broken heart. At the same time, we will be showing the young women, getting on with her daily activities. This shows that "when a heart breaks, it don't breakeven."

Within the video, we will have two settings; one is in a room where they young man will be sitting on a sofa playing his guitar, we have looked at and borrowed some props from our school drama department. the items are old creating a vintage look. This would give the video an urban and more realistic look. The second scene will be around the city at different settings to make it look more natural as the young women is meant to be getting on with her daily activities. We have also decided that for the treatment we will show relation between the couple by adding one black and white scene using a point of view shot. This scene will show the young women smiling and laughing and will have the effect as if the young man is creating a home video whilst they were together.
