Pre-Production

Synopsis and treatment:

Our song is a rock-ish song, which we made. the lyrics are about various slasher serial killers for the video we'll have a serial killer getting ready and then leaving his house to kill victim number 1 then as he kills the victim an innocent person sees it happen so that person becomes victim number 2.
We've decided to do this video according to the audience of horror movies and rock music: male, 16-24 alternative lifestyle. We're thinking that our video wouldn't be able to be on telly during the day in case people found it too graphic, we're making sure there won't be much gory details so people don't find it disturbing and so we're able to have our music video going on telly during the day to a better promotion of the artist.

We’re starting by showing the killer ''getting ready'' to go out and attack, a bit like Dexter's credits. We're doing this by using close ups and stuff like bloody knives, a mask we're going to avoid showing the killers face all the way through only showing the back of the head. As the killer gets ready we see the victim as well so the audience knows that something is going to happen to the victim. Then along the video we watch the killer walking trying to find the victim till he finds him and then as someone else walks in the scene that is our second victim. We're doing kind of chase scene with each one of the victims but instead of watching from one point of view we're seeing most of it from both of the point of views. At the very end the killer goes after the camera person and kills her. For this we’re going to use lots of close ups and medium close ups we’ve decided not to use many long shots because that would allow the audience to know what’s going on and it wouldn’t be a good pop promo. The camera will be in different angles; this is to make the audience uncomfortable. The lightning is going to be sun light as we can’t film it during the night; we’re using After Effects to make our video more obscure and dark. We're only showing lip sync of the chorus and that's going top be a close up of the killer’s mouth. The editing is going to be quite quick to add more tension to it, we want it to be quite ‘’in your face’’ kind of thing so we’re sure the audience watching it is going to have it stuck in their heads. That way the Band is going to be promoted quite well.

The killer is going to be using overalls and a Michel Myers mask to look more like a slasher movie. The first victim is going to be wearing a suit so its like the killer wants to kill an important person. The second victim is going to be wearing just casual stuff because she just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. We won’t see the camera's person clothes because we're just going to see the person running away from the killer.
