Treatment
Scene one - Our singer is asleep in a barrack which is his home. We need to quickly show the audience our singer lives in poor conditions and his only possessions are his hat and his guitar. Our first shot is of the singer waking up, lighting a cigarette and beginning to play the guitar. He then slowly gets up and walks out onto the road, places his hat on the floor and starts busking to make what money he can. After not much success busking next to a busy road he gathers his belongings, slings his guitar over his back and begins walking down the road.
Scene two - We join onto scene one where our singer is slowly walking down the road. He then finally reaches another area he can start busking again until he finally sits down under a tree and has a cigarette. After finishing his cigarette he places his hat on the floor and begins busking again with only one person placing money in his hat which is only pence. He finally gathers his things up again, throws his guitar over his shoulder and beings walking across a field.
Scene three - Whilst walking across this field our singer lights a cigarette and finds a park where he sits on the swings singing to himself. He then throws his guitar over his shoulder and leaves the park and begins walking down the road.



You need to develop your storyboard - this is too short (obviously) but also does not include elements such as duration, transitions, camera movement etc - all of which should be in mind before filming. Your treatment should have been a separate post and - more importantly needs to be more detailed: add in stylistic elements as outlined in the framework for analysing other people's music videos on the A2 blog: http://thomasadamsa2media2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/analysing-music-videos-checklist.html. Currently your planning is not that of an A grade student!!!!
