My Synopsis and Treatment

Before we came up with our group idea for our pop promo, we had to come up with an individual idea that would then be shared with the group and the best ideas would make it into the promo.

My individual idea as far as the narrative is concerned are as follows

• Like existing bands i want to use time lapse to show the passing of time and to help emphasize the beauty of everyday life.
• I want to follow one character through the period of the song and i want to show that character in different settings for example in a busy high street with people rushing past them and on the beach the beach showing the tide coming in.
• I want to use speeded up footage of cars moving and clocks to show the ellipsis of time.
• I also want to slow time down as the character moves from one setting to another.
• I also want to use images of moving clouds and at the end of the song i want to slow the footage down and show the character at peace laying in the grass.
• I would also like to do a time lapsed nightclub or bar scene to show the nightlife

My treatment ideas

• Mise-en-scene will play a big role in my pop promo to make the character stand out for example being in bright clothing.
• I will also being using a lot of long shots of the character standing still so that when the footage is sped up it will look as if everyone is rushing around the character.
• I will use both high and low angle shots to create interesting view points.
• Wide shots of both the nature scenes and the city scenes with be used to show contrast.
