Production Treatment

The Music Video:

The song that we have chosen to do is Stan by Eminem. We chose this song because we thought it would be very interesting to make a video similar to the aspects of this video but obviously adding our own features, this will make our video somewhat similar to the Stan video in someway but very different in others.

Duration:

We were set a time limit of 3-4 minutes to shoot our video and with the Stan video being 6 minutes and 3 seconds we will have to do some editing to make it fit in the time slot allocated which we feel we could do because a couple minutes of the video is just the instrumental playing.

Audience:

The target audience of our music video will be aimed at a younger audience. We will be trying to aim. Although the video will not contain scenes inappropriate for younger children, we have chosen the target audience of this age because we believe that younger children will not be able to understand what is happening in the music, with the main character being killed. This will be much easier for an older audience to understand. The gender that we are aiming for is both male and females as their will be nothing mainly aimed at males and nothing mainly aimed at females and the age of the two genders will range from age 15 - 25 year olds as we believe that at this age they will be most interested in this genre of music and therefore be more interest in the music video.

Resume:

The narrative of the video will be about a stalker stalking his childhood antagonist who bullied him when they were younger. The stalker tricks the childhood antagonist into meeting him at his residence by pretending to be a female. When the antagonist turns up at the residence of the stalker he is directed where to go by signs on the wall and when he enters the room where there is a shrine of himself the camera shows that behind the antagonist is the stalker stood there with a knife ready to take his life.

Suggested Elements:

The stalker will always be wearing a hood to hide his identity incase his victim ever turns around and recognizes him and to show that there is a dark element about this young man. Main shooting locations will be the stalkers home and the antagonist’s home and maybe some green screen footage.

Recording Days:

We are unsure as to how many days it will take to record our music videos but the majority of the days will be Mondays and Wednesdays with sunny skies, we also need night time shots so this could be done at any day of the week after college.
