the developed idea and music.


Three old men sit in a bleached white room. They sit in old luxurious single sofas separated from one. With wine and cigar in hand they star blankly into a stack of TV’s in the middle of the room. The TV’s are about three meters away from them. The man in the middle pulls up a remote and turns on the TVs. Electricity pulse through ought the room as the TV flicker on. The TV displays is in colour displaying a heavenly performance of a band. The camera gets sucked into the reality of the performance slowly slipping into the TV’s glass screen. We are shown the performance of the band. We come back to the reality of the old men and the camera slowly pans round the TVs to reveal a small boy/girl sitting behind the TVs. Strapped in wires the boy/girl begins to fade away through ought the music video becoming thinner and thinner. Through ought the music video there will be a dancer in hospital patient clothing being cut in through ought the piece. Finally the girl/boy strapped to the TV dies and the girl/boy who was dancing replaces her as the men lay back wowed by the performance.

After a lot of discussion the group dispersed and came back together the next day. We had decided the day before that each of us should find 2 songs for the next meeting. After showing each other the songs we found, we finally all agreed on a song.


However, I mostly agreed on this song due to compromise. Like the dance elements, to keep my idea in the loop I needed to compromise for the girls otherwise I would end up making a music video with people dancing in water and dust. However, I hope once we show our teachers our treatment they will agree that this song doesn't fit the idea.
