Treatment
Genre - I believe this piece of music does not fall into a specific genre as it has a very individual sound. This song has a slightly vintage feel to it which makes it more interesting and orginal.
Sound - The clip will only consist of the sound of the track. This piece has some surreal sounds, acompanied by drums, guitar and vocals. I belive this clip has quite an animalistic sound through the drums, it becomes very intense and dark which already gives the piece an ambigous feel.
Lighting - There will be variations in lighting, as some scenes will need to be dark in order to create the correct feel and others will have natural lighting when in natural surroundings (such as being outdoors in the day time.)
Shots - I aim to have around 50 shots in this piece as I feel quickly flashing images and cutting from shots quickly can be really effective in a fast pace song. I wish to make this piece look as professional as possible.
Editing - I feel most of my editing will be fairly simple although there will be a scene that will need severe editing to give it a hot, chlostrophobic feel. Similarly, the cuts between shots will all be straight cuts meaning cutting clips and putting them one after the other will be simple.
Mise en Scene - Although I am still creating a rough story board I want the settings to be familiar but bizarre. This video will need props such as a microphone and guitar as I will be shooting the band in action.

Preliminary Task
For our A Level Preliminary task we had to create a remake of the famous "Hot Me Baby One More Time - Britney Spears" music video. Our whole class worked as a group and all took turns in creating and editing the piece.
Shooting - To shoot our music video we used two cameras, every member of the class had their turn to shoot a scene which gave us all the opportunity to have our fair share of contribution. We used loads of different angles for the shots to make the video as interesting and close to the original version as possible. Overall we had around 65 shots to take which took us a long time. Our timetable for shooting was lengthend as we needed more time for this aspect of the project than we initially thought.
Mise en scene - For our costume, we were all dressed in school uniform. For the girls this consisted of a shirt, cardigan, skirt, knee high socks and hair in pig tails. For the boys this consisted of a shirt, tie and trousers. Key props we used in our video were the pencil, bags, coats and lockers.
Editing - The class split into partners so we could all do a sufficient amount of editing. However, I was delayed finishing my piece as the software became slow due to the whole class using it at once. This lead to the allocated time being used up and we had to move on before I could complete my editing. However, I had used the editing programme before and had plenty of experience editing a project.
Directing - Every member of the class was given the opportunity to voice their opinion on how they thought a shot could look or be changed to make it more effective. We all discussed each shot to ensure we agreed it was the best way to shoot it. Some of us were more confident than others with how they felt the piece should look, although the class became very harmonious with their views.
