Treatment

Idea for my music video: 

Music: 

The song i have decided to use for my music video is 'Chandelier' by Sia but i'll be using a cover by Madilyn Bailey on YouTube due to copyright reasons. I've decided on this song because it's popular and has a good story behind the lyrics which i thought i could use to get a good creative music video out of it. 

Location: 

For the location of the music video, i'll be carrying on with the theme of a run down building like in the actual music video but also have scenes in a empty room with a back black drop because i want a contrast between the story line (the lyrics) in the music video and the dancing. 

Lighting: 

The lighting we will mostly be using is low key but include colourful bright 'disco' lights for the scenes where we're filming using the back drop. The reason for the low key lighting is because the theme of the song is quite negative and a serious topic so we need the lighting to also portray this and the reason for the disco lights is because it can link in with the theme of partying because it'll be like she's in a club. 

Costume: 

I'll be keeping it simple with the costumes, for example because the girl is dealing with alcoholism so they'll be wearing over-sized hoodies to look scruffy and run down but also keeping it simple. With the over-sized hoodie they'll wear dance shorts underneath because they'll be dancing. 

Props: 

 I'm including minimal props because i want the focus to be on the lyrics and the characters but one prop i'll be using is large piece of red cloth to signify the battle she is facing and we'll be able to include it in with the dance and by it being red will add a bit of colour to the scene making it very effective and stand out.
