Maetrik The reason Treatment

Ideas outline
At first there was going to be a club scene filled with boys and girls in leather dancing however on reflection we realised this would be too difficult to recreate in a believable way. So we came up with the idea of a party scene that has been dressed up as a persons attempt to recreate a club type party which would allow us some room with regards to having to put together a believable club scene. The narrative follows a homosexual male as he makes his way to the party and then once inside the party, the party being an area where any act is acceptable despite what society deems right or wrong. The beginning shot sequence consists of shots of him and a friend on colourful bikes cycling to the party and on the way they experience some extraordinary things to give the sense that the whole journey there is their journey through homosexuality. When they eventually reach the party its filled with corrugated plastic strips which we plan on shining lights through and spraying with water and paint to distort what can be seen in the club. Through out the scene suggestive symbolism crops up to suggest homosexuality. We plan on incorporating the live performance element into the club scene through close ups of the DJ or through mental images which would give the party a trippy feeling.

Emotion and Tone

At the beginning of the of the music video we want it to be a nostalgic tone as he sees his journey through his sexuality along the street while he cycles. When he reaches the club the tone and emotions he shows changed to much more upbeat. Well show this with faster cuts between shots to increase the pace of the sequence and obviously positive emotions shown by him when he arrives. When he arrives at the party the song will be in the repetitive heavy trance stage so the tone of this sequence will also be a lot more sexual which well show with eye line matches and suggestive actions within the shots we portray.

Locations
For location of the club we could use ewhurst basement because the house is homely and the basement holds the look we like, its underground and quite old. Once decorated this will give it the look of a thrown together underground club where anything is acceptable and people go to be comfortable with themselves.

For the beginning cycle ride well use a city high street at night, to make it believable that hes going out to a club. Also we need a road with pavements which he can witness all these memorable experiences.

Lyrical relevance to narrative

The lyrics are Youre the reason I cant live, Youre the reason I cant love.

The lyrics will only start once he reaches the club and is inside experiencing it because we want to suggest that the lyrics refer to society outside the club making it impossible for these people who arent accepted in the outside world to live or love, due to their tendencies or sexuality.

Justifications and Final Concept

We justify the beginning bit by using people on the pavements as he cycles by acting out significant events in his journey through his sexuality. For example as he cycles past a first person shot of someone being kicked out by their parents, the camera turns like a head turning and zooms in on the action before zooming out and whip panning back to the handle bars. The club party scene is justified by the concept of the red room from fifty shades of grey, a location where any sexual act is acceptable. Were making the party our interpretation of the red room, an area where anything is acceptable. The final concept overview very basically is that the journey to the club is almost his timeline with the most significant and memorable experiences animating on the street as he cycles past with the end of the journey finally being the party where he feels totally comfortable acting exactly how he wants to and being homosexual.
