Music video Treatment

Music Video Treatment

My video will be mainly performance based but still some aspects of narrative will be focusing around our main character, who will be representing Jordan from Rizzle kicks. As matching with the lyrics, I will be focusing on the laziness of a man who is a ‘couch potato.’ I will start with a hilariously dressed mother nagging our main character, followed by the very typically Rizzle Kicks video idea of performing to the camera, where we will need to use lip synching. Lipsynching will be needed almost throughout the video, woven into our short skits of narrative. I then have a moment where he says ‘I don’t no play games yo’ and will show him playing on his x-box for humorous irony. He then says ‘make me a sandwich with a little bit of mayo,’  so we show him eating a sandwich really messily and then through the next line or two, he will be mouthing the words with food in his mouth, whilst still playing his x-box. Next bit I stage in my neighbours gym, I have a close up of the exchange of £30 as say in the lyrics, then when inside the gym, he walks by the clock, it says 12:30 then fast forewards through to one, then camera shows him sleeping, then he wakes up checks his watch and walks out. Next, as it says ‘all I do is watch friends, probrably the reason why ive not got friends’ shows him laughing at friends with no one next to him. Later he says ‘yo getting texts of my ex wanting sex’ so it shows him pull out his phone, and I will speed up the pace of him walking to the girls house, girl opens door, door closes. Then on his ‘way home’ he stops in to the chip shop because it should arrive on the line ‘what? And if I do go out well I’m getting cheesy chips on the way home.’I then return to his house, where he is sitting on the sofa with a big pack of crisps stuffed under his top, and at ‘jobless fat and dumb,’ he pulls out a packet of crisps from under his top so he looked like he was imitating being fat. Mum then comes onscreen to spray deodorant for the line ‘yard reeks having let my bath leak since last week’ my main character seems careless. I then have for the rest of the song him mouthing the responses so lip synching whilst displaying how much of a ‘couch potato’ he is; eating, on his phone, very messy, puts dirty socks on table. Then to end ‘check me out’ will be a mid-shot of him looking rather proud of himself.
