Video Treatment 3

We have revised the idea for our video again as the idea for combining national and local wars through the images of gang violence. It was too difficult to combine the two concepts and make it clear what we were doing. Our new video treatment is very similar to our original one, we're going to stick with war on a national scale, having stock footage from WW1, WW2 and Afghanistan combined with the band performing and some narrative about the life of a soldier.
The narrative shown is not particularly in-depth, it simply shows an ex-soldier dealing with life back at home. We want to have images of him throwing down his army coat and leaving the house to go for a walk, giving the impression he is 'clearing his head', displaying how much being in war can effect a person.
The band will no longer be in a plain room, but outside in an open, natural space, as in another convention of the Folk genre.

Music Video Treatment 2

Our video is going to be performance and concept.

Throughout the video we’re going to have footage of the band-playing cut with several other images of a variety of things. We want one of our layers to be old images/footage from world war one, as that is what the song is primarily about. However we want the rest of the layers to link to the idea of ‘postcode wars’. The song talks about defending your country/land and being proud of where you come from. We thought we could link this to postcode wars as its modern and would be far easier for our target audience to relate to.
As the front man sings about ‘my friends and I wave goodbye as our ship leaves England home’ we want to have black and white footage of a ship leaving harbour in WW1, however when he sings ‘i see my friends along the line, many fine young men’ we want to have a crabbing shot of two ‘gangs’ standing either side of a road/estate/park completely still, ready to fight.

We’re going to have the band in a empty room or field to reflect the sad tone of the song, we’re going to have a variety of camera shots, from medium long shots to extreme close ups, as is common in folk videos. The close ups will emphasize the lack of expression on the band members faces, reinforcing the sad tone of the video.

Towards the end as the song gets more dramatic we want the cutting pace to increase to keep up with the music and reinforce the increased intensity of the song.  We’ll have images quickly flashing up, for example a picture of a road sing with the postcode on, or newspaper headlines about postcode wars, as well as old images from WW1/soldiers.
