Planning : Treatment For My Music Video

Artist and Song - Health - Euphoria

Director - Sean and Sam


Summary: 

Our main and initial thoughts on the video consist of a young male who has guided himself into drug abuse, we wanted to convey to our viewers the damage drugs may actually come across, especially to those who are innocently young. We want to show the contrast to what happens when you take illegal drugs and when you don't. They may look happy but they are unaware to what can actually happen.            


Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

And I'm looking back
We were young then
In the strangest dream of me
And I'm looking back
We were dumb then
In the strangest dream

[Chorus]
Euphoria
Don't leave
Euphoria
Don't lie to me

[Verse 2]
Now it's in the past
And I'm stuck here
In the strangest dream of me
And we can't go back
To a moment
In a stranger's dream

[Chorus]
Euphoria
Don't leave
Euphoria
Don't lie to me


Explanation. 

At the beginning of mine and Sean's music video the camera is going to zoom up on to the characters face but in a quirky motion (Editing) as the song has a build up almost immediately. From this point  the character will be sitting towards the camera until the lyrics appear and he will start lip syncing whilst the camera tracks backwards. The lyrics are very much simple for our actor to learn, and he will mainly be lip syncing to the main lyrics so that with the other lyrics we can portray into flash back with the use of editing. Flash backs will be of him and his friends enjoying themselves on these drugs which will cause them harm. But at the start of the song there will be a really short edit of what the video turns out to be but then will continue on after the chorus. We want to introduce a lot of weirdness in our video for example we will have background characters with horse heads so viewers understand the consequences of drugs. The music video is going to be full of flashbacks of this time that he had but in present time our character will look really scruffy and rough, portraying himself as a drug user and where drugs get you. That is the intention of our music video, the consequences of taking these substances and to what can happen.
