K: Treatment

TREATMENT
Based on a narrative of a young man looking back at a local girl who committed suicide. He remembers her life and how it affected others around her. The underlying theme around the video is that of love, whether friendship family or relationship to create a sense of surrealism and purity with vintage style influences. We aim to create a 'shabby chic' set in an old seaside town based on the theme 'youthful restlessness' through montage edited narrative.

The video will begin similar to ‘Candy’ and ‘Holoscene’; close ups of various distances and parts of the girl, her hair blowing in the wind and closed eyes, with strong natural light. We see feet hanging from a tree in a field, sunrise creating a soft angelic feel, revealing only parts of the figure. We pan around the location in slow motion and compression of time visiting her local community and relations, displaying random people with blank emotions, ‘Isles’. Autumnal colours will benefit us to create a folk genre style; similar to Ben Howard’s videos we want nature and location to play a large part in our video, only revealing the male artist near the end of the video with a strong meat shot, direct eye contact and lip syncing. We will follow the journey of the girl in the build up to the event, never revealing what actually happened but giving the audience signifiers such as rope and the feet; this will be juxtaposed with the ‘after’; the male artist will relive their memories and the other ‘random’ characters displaying their emotionless faces, broken by this incident.
